The Aging Eye and Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor to consider is that, as we get older, our eyes demand more light to read by. Studies have shown that people in their 60&#8217;s need 80% more light for reading than people in their 20&#8217;s. This increased need for light is due to the need to compensate for the reduced ability of the iris to open wide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Double-Arm-Reading-Light.jpg\" alt=\"A Lamps Plus double arm reading light on a desk. \" class=\"wp-image-2259\" title=\"A double arm reading light. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Double-Arm-Reading-Light.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Double-Arm-Reading-Light-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Double-Arm-Reading-Light-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Double-Arm-Reading-Light-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choices in Reading Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is the perfect light for reading? No matter what your personal lamp style, experts say that halogen and fluorescent bulbs generally do a better job of illuminating reading material than normal incandescent bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halogen bulbs produce a whiter light that is perfect for reading and the sharp white light ensures good page illumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common complaint about fluorescent lighting is that it gives off a greenish blue light. Today\u2019s fluorescent bulbs and tubes are available in a wide range of colors, plus they use up to 80% less energy and last 20 times longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Book Placement and Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts also say that books and other printed material should sit between 14 and 18 inches away from your eyes. Books nearer or farther can tire the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers who are right-handed should position the light hitting the text on their left hand side, and vice versa. This prevents page-turning hands from casting shadows across the reading material.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Architect-Style-Desk-Lamp.jpg\" alt=\"An architect style desk lamp from Lamps Plus. \" class=\"wp-image-2260\" title=\"A Lamps Plus architect style desk lamp. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Architect-Style-Desk-Lamp.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Architect-Style-Desk-Lamp-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Architect-Style-Desk-Lamp-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Architect-Style-Desk-Lamp-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Readers should also avoid sitting up with a book in their laps or reading sideways in bed without changing positions. In both cases, the neck is in a flexed position, which can lead to both neck and eye strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For close-up reading lights, look to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/book-lights\/\">LED book light design<\/a>. Most of these feature a clip-on base, and their compact size makes them ideal for traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help choosing the perfect lamp for reading?
