Lighting can be an important aid to making the best of your vision.  Things can be made easier to see by using better lighting.  Use as much light as you feel comfortable with.  The fluorescent lamps shown have low wattage and provide directional ‘daylight’ type lighting which can improve contrast helping with near vision to make detail and text sharper.  Lamp types include table top, portable battery operated, floor standing and lamps with magnifier attachments.
