The Importance of proper lighting when reading

Reading is a great way to end the day, but be careful not to let the lighting around you change to the point where it is causing strain on your eyes.

EYE-FRIENDLY LIGHT

Reading in dim or overly bright light can cause eye strain. Always use a balanced, natural light source that evenly illuminates your reading material.

ADJUSTABLE LAMPS

Consider using adjustable desk lamps or floor lamps with warm, soft white LED bulbs. They allow you to fine-tune the lighting to your comfort.

AVOID GLARE

Position your light source to minimise glare and reflections on your reading material. A glare-free environment is gentler on your eyes.
