trouser buttons

Anyone got a solution for when someone with arthritic fingers can't manage the button on their new trousers?

Any easy alteration? I wondered along the lines of velcro but not sure how.

I am sure you can get gadgets to help get the button through the hole. Meanwhile, would long nosed pliers be easier to hold - poke them through the buttonhole down to the button, grasp button, pull back through buttonhole.

I'm thinking aloud here and realise grip may be a problem ...

The button hook worked a treat.
