Whether reading a paperback, e-reader or tablet, it’s important to understand why the right type of lighting is important for your reading environment. While permanent damage to our eyes cannot be caused by reading in the dark, it can lead to short term effects which are completely avoidable such as headaches and eye strain. With that in mind, here are a few reading environment tips to take into consideration for children and yourself. Be mindful of the brightness of digita...l screen vs. your reading environment. As many books are now switching from paperback to digital including student textbooks it’s important to remember that the lighting of the area you’re reading in should be as bright or brighter than your digital device. Therefore, avoid reading in dark rooms. Reading from digital devices in a dark room can cause discomfort, leading to lower concentration and disorientation because your eyes are constantly adjusting between the brightness of a screen and your dimly lit surroundings. Additionally, dark rooms will not provide sufficient lighting if you’re reading a paperback book. Increase task lighting in your home. Task lighting refers to artificial light that increase illuminance for activities, such as reading. Some households are significantly under lit, which can cause your eyes to tire out much quicker. For tasks such as reading, light should be positioned to shine directly onto the page and not over your shoulder to avoid any glare. See more

Good hydration and eye health are connected. Our bodies are more than 50% water, so it should come as no surprise that dehydration can lead to vision problems and have other serious impacts on our health. Water plays an essential role in keeping our organs functioning. If you do not have enough fluid in your system, your body will become dehydrated. Dehydration affects your kidneys and other vital organs. It limits our ability to get rid of waste and slows our ability to hea...l wounds and recover from injuries. In terms of eye health, without proper hydration, your body can no longer produce tears, or keep your eyes moisturized, which may lead to eye strain or dry eye. Blurry vision, eye fatigue, and headaches are all signs that you need to drink more water. But how much liquid should you drink? Experts recommend that healthy adults consume between six to eight, 8-ounce servings of water each day. Avoiding dehydration is a simple, but forgetful, task. To ensure you drink enough, keep a water bottle with you at all times and set reminders for yourself to take in more fluids, especially after physical activity! In addition to ensuring you are hydrated, make sure you stay on top of getting your eyes examined on a regular basis. To learn more about the effects of dry eye, book an appointment with us today.
