Proper lighting is the most important aspect of preserving eyesight

According to a video on OttLite’s web site the Disney Corporation asked OttLite founder, Dr. John Nash Ott, to time-lapse film the growth of a pumpkin. It was to be used in the animation of the pumpkin that turns into a coach for the picture “Cinderella”. Unfortunately the pumpkin did not mature. Dr. Ott realized that the lights used for filming were too hot and they dried the plant and it died. He then created a lamp that provided natural daylight without the harmful effects of excessive heat. That led to the healthy, full spectrum lights that we have today.

OttLite today offers full spectrum lighting, natural daylight lamps. Vision Dynamics now offers their new lamps, all using OttLite™ Illumination, with 508™ Technology. They are not luxury items but cannot be found in mass market stores. They are professional grade lamps available to the consumer in select stores and medical offices. They are available as floor lamps , desk and table lamps, portable, specialty, and magnification lamps.

Proper lighting is the most important aspect of preserving eyesight and it is one that we can all easily make use of without breaking our budgets. Everyone should and can protect their present eyesight in every way possible. Being legally blind since childhood, I am keenly aware of the need for conserving the eyesight you have right now. There is no easier way to start doing that than by using the best light available for all the things you love to do. Light up your home or office, use them for reading or craft work. They will even help your plants!

I have always provided easy solutions to our clients and adding these new products is another step in that direction. Give your eyes a break! They’ll love you for it.
