Max line length for visually impaired

Question

Max line length has always been a hot potato. I want to ask the community, especially those who do research in accessibility and those who are visually impaired, what are your experience/understanding of the effect of line length?Specifically, there is a great debate over 80 characters, 88 characters, or even 120 characters.Does max line length matter when visually impaired developers have access to a larger screen?

Line length matters if you are a heavy zoom user.This is pretty easy to see for your self, in a browser, on this page by using zoom under "view". Reasonable sized lines and or soft wraps help greatly!

I'm blind and line length matters to the extend that long lines are harder to edit in the middle.
