Until I had cataracts and cataract surgery, I had not realized how important light is for vision. I have had to increase the amount of light I need to read a magazine or book. My classroom is lit by day lighting and now on overcast days I have to turn on the classroom lights to read the computer screen. At Christmas, Patrick got me a new headlamp and spot light to help with some of the lighting problems that I have been having at home. It has made a huge difference. The OxyLED F10 remote control floor lamps has been excellent. I can work with small electronics and other stuff that was impossible without good light source. I also like the cool and warm light settings. I have used low blue light for working on a computer while I use high yellow light for small gadgets. The light was exactly what I needed to start working on small projects. The Petzel Nao headlamp was another great find and it has been super. When we were traveling, I used my headlamp to read a book and magazines since the lighting in the cabin was limited. For me the right lighting has become vital for working with small stuff and reading.
