Light It Up
When i visited my eye doctor last week, he had mentioned something that has just now started to sink in and make sense to me. I had complained about having trouble reading small print but he insists that I do not yet need reading glasses. What he explained is that my eyes need more light to read the smaller print. He suggested that when I notice my eyes straining to read something small, like the expiration date on a coupon, to put more light on the item using lamps or even a flashlight, if necessary.
So this morning I was going through the grocery coupons and pulling out any that have expired. I was having a hard time reading some of the dates, so I moved closer to the desk lamp and held the coupon under that the light. Yes! It does make it easier!
So I was worried about needing glasses to read when all I need to do is buy some new halogen lamps for the desk and sofa tables, where I like to sit and read.
