A Need for Lighted Reading Aids
Feb 6th 2017
We all know the symptoms of trying to read in poor lighting conditions—eye strain, headaches, and some temporary eyesight problems. Sometimes, the lighting isn’t necessarily poor, but your vision needs the help of some extra light. You shouldn’t feel ashamed of experiencing the problem, nor should you let the problem persist for any reason. The problem can happen to people of all ages.
In recent years, people have also begun to realized just how easy it is to suffer negative effects of reading on their devices too long, and too late at night. The brightness of the computer screen or smartphone can cause similar symptoms to low-light reading—headaches, eyestrain, and trouble sleeping are all believed to be caused by staring at phones and laptops too long. Now that use of these devices often begins at a very young age, children are susceptible to the symptoms. There are ways of correction the issue, and one is lowering the brightness setting on the device and using a lighted reading aid.
There is a wide range of devices that aid reading in bad lighting, or for those who have trouble reading without extra light. They are suited for everyone’s situations. These lights can clip to your electronic device, to you, to your glasses, or they may stand near you. They may have magnifiers of different strengths, too. The light can be as bright as you might need and some are specifically designed to suit individual needs—they may be for reading in very low light, or looking at a laptop and phone for long periods of time.
A reading light, or lighted reading aids, is more than another small, ultimately unnecessary gadget. It could save you from terrible eyestrain and related problems. Visit Speert’s website and find the perfect lighted reading aids.
