    • Lighting the home office


    Members of the Council's SEE TO WORK® Program stress the importance of creating a good work environment in your home.

    A well-lit and well-furnished home office encourages good posture and good eyesight. Overall room lighting should be supplemented with a 100-watt shaded bulb for the desk.

    Older people should use brighter bulbs or move closer to the light when reading or working at a desk because their pupils become smaller with age and are less adaptable to light changes.

    Don't forget that intense, continual concentration on a book or computer is stressful to your eyes. Take regular breaks and use your eyes another way.
