Need for more light. As you age, you need more light to see as well as you used to. Brighter lights in your work area or next to your reading chair will help make reading and other close-up tasks easier.
You’ll want to have the best light you can. This means light optimized for less glare and more clarity to ease the strain on your eyes.
As we age, the lens of our eyes starts to lose the transparency and become clouded, so you will want to look for lighting that will compensate for these changes in your eyes,and enhance those spectral colors that we tend to have more difficulty seeing as we age.
Choosing proper lighting is one of the easiest and best changes you can make as you live with the aging process and how it affects your vision. Quality lighting is essential to ease your eye strain and tension headaches, while enabling you to do what you love for longer.
