As eyes age, readers experience greater difficulty focusing on small print items. This condition, called presbyopia, affects an estimated 90 million people, including almost anyone over age 50 to some degree.
Presbyopia cause letters to look fuzzy when reading up close and makes it difficult to read in low-light situations. To help combat this problem, the makers of the Light Wedge book light, have introduced the Light Wedge Mini, to provide the light boost and text magnification that readers with aging eyes need.
The Light Wedge Mini is side lit by bright LEDs. readers place the flat, acrylic lens across the book page and are able to read comfortably in the dark, without bothering anyone around them. The Light Wedge Mini is specially designed for magnified reading on the go. It is pocket-sized and has a 1.5x magnification bar, making it particularly useful for reading menus in dimly lit restaurants and programs in dark theaters. Light Wedge also has a new Light Wedge Magnifier accessory for its regular book lights. The magnifier slides onto the Light Wedge LED book light and magnifies the entire book page 1.25x. For the millions of people with presbyopia, these Light Wedge products offer a way to help them read more enjoyably.
