At home . It is often easier to see things if you shine a light directly onto what you want to see. For example, if you are reading, it may be easier to see if you use a lamp that can be adjusted to point directly at the pages of your book. Everyone is different and you need to find the amount of light that you are comfortable with. For more information on using better lighting, ask for the RNIB leaflet in this series on lighting.
