“Quality Lighting for Patients Having Cataract”
They say “seeing is believing” and with OttLite Better Vision products, each of our lamps, especially for people that need low vision lighting, like patients having cataract disease really do bring out the vibrancy in colors and script to such individuals.
To understand the correlation between OttLite Better Vision products and people suffering with vision problems like cataract, it is necessary to understand how a cataract develops and what are its symptoms. "A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light." - Wikipedia. Having such complications of clouded vision can make it more difficult for scrap booking, reading, or even while watching a movie. It is a common problem that many people suffer from where over “5,500,000 people have vision obstructed by cataract” according to the University of Washington Department of Ophthalmology. Such symptoms of cataracts are “sensitivity to light and glare, colors fading and blurring, a need for a brighter light when reading or other activities, clouded vision, halos around lights, and increased difficulty seeing and making out objects at night time.” –Mayo Clinic.
According also to the Mayo Clinic, there are simple approaches within the home to help suppress cataract’s disease. Some include using a magnifying glass to read, and to improve the lighting in your home with more or brighter lamps.
With OttLite’s Better Vision products; we offer a variety of quality lamps for cataract patients. From our Crane Table Lamp, Rechargeable Battery Task Lamp, and DesignPro Floor Lamps are all perfect lamps for cataract patients. The Rechargeable Battery Task Lamp is wonderful for low vision patients as it is cordless and portable, and can be taken anywhere you need to see more clearly – reading recipes in the kitchen, writing checks, researching on the computer, sorting the mail, enjoying a puzzle, and is perfect to take on vacations too! It allows cataract patients to see details and colors perfectly and read comfortably for hours under the low heat illumination. The high contrast combined with the low glare helps reduce eyestrain, headaches, and eye squinting.
