Is the Edge 520 better in this regard?...or...is there a better cycling computer that is easiest to see with bigger font size? I mostly want speed, power and heart rate shown on the screen at one time.

Thanks
I find the 520 easier to read than my old 800 - the display is higher resolution and "crisper" for lack of a better word. However, if your farsightedness keeps you from reading it, you may be doomed. I got contacts last year that are multi-focal so they have a bit of reading correction built in and I can read them just fine. YMMV I use it with 8 fields on the main screen. My normal readers are +1.5 if that helps.
