LED Reading Glasses and Aging

There are two types of cells in the eye that allow us to see, which we call rods and cones. While rods allow us to see in dim light, they are limited in their clarity. Dim light vision tends to look colorless and somewhat fuzzy. In contrast, cones are sensitive to color and add sharpness to our vision. Few would argue that it's more comfortable to read in dim light. While ordinary reading glasses can help with magnifying an image too small for the eye to focus on, they do nothing for the problems resulting from too little light.

As people age, they need more light to be able to see clearly. Just as we start noticing the need for reading glasses, we also find ourselves less sensitive to light. Yet despite these problems going together hand in hand, we had few ways to deal with them at the same time until now. With LED technology, lightweight reading glasses that illuminate what you're looking at neatly solve both problems.

LED reading glasses such as those available through Opticbrights are a discreet way of reading in less than ideal lighting. Instead of waiting for the sun to be high enough, you can read your morning paper on the porch with ease. Reading in bed without having to fumble with lamps or risking waking your spouse up feels natural and simple with LED reading glasses.

Lighted reading glasses can help beyond the obvious, though. Additional lighting while working on crafts or artwork can make activities that had been almost painfully impossible suddenly easy. By directing the light onto your work, fine details that could have been lost in dim light are beautifully illuminated.

By enhancing your sight in the two important factors of lighting and magnification, glasses with LED lights can transform your life. No more squinting, headaches, or exasperation as you give up tasks because it's simply too hard to see now. Instead, lighted reading glasses could make it easier to focus on fine details than ever before in life.

Aging is a fact of life and one that brings many frustrations. Feeling limited by our own vision when there is such an easy solution isn't something anyone should have to suffer. Instead, watch as your life is transformed with LED reading glasses. By combining magnification and illumination you might just find yourself better at seeing than your children.
