Over the last year or so, I suddenly discovered that I have developed Presbyopia. In short, due to aging, I now need reading glasses to correct my ‘long-sightedness’. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never had to wear spectacles all my life. This, like many other good habits, I owe it to my strict mother who insists that we adopt good eye care practices. So imagine my dismay when I discovered that I now need to wear spectacles to read even the product labels on supermarket shelves or to complete a proper text message without making embarrassing spelling errors. What an inconvenience! <\/p>\n

The truth is that while Presbyopia comes with age and can\u2019t be avoided, Myopia (or short-sightedness), can. Sadly, Singapore is infamous for having one of the world\u2019s highest number of myopia sufferers – a whopping 80% of the population to be exact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Even sadder still is that some of these Myopia sufferers are children who have to bear with the inconvenience of wearing spectacles daily (practically for their entire lives) whereas parents have to bear the costs of regular eye checkups and replacement of spectacles as they grow.<\/p>\n

Myopia can be prevented if good eye care habits are practiced.<\/strong> These include:<\/p>\n

1) ensuring there is sufficient lighting in the room where you read, write or type.
2) selecting books that have non-reflective pages with large printed letters.
3) maintaining a 30-40cm distance between your eyes and the book and minimum 2m from the TV.
4) taking your eyes off the book or the screen every 30mins or 1 hour to give your eyes sufficient rest.
5) utilizing a good task lamp in addition to indoor lighting to distribute the light evenly which reduce physiological effects like eye strains, dizziness and headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The 3M LED 5000<\/b><\/a> is a LED task lamp that combines the latest LED technology with 3M\u2019s proprietary Polarizing Light Filter. It is sleek, lightweight and stylish with a coloured textured wood finish. The LED technology has proven to be long lasting (40,000 hours on average use, that\u2019s about 20 years life span!), emits very little heat and virtually flicker-free (reducing eye tiredness).  Combined with 3M\u2019s Polarizing Filter technology, the 3M LED 5000<\/a> <\/b>cuts glare by 80% as it converts harmful rays into optimal lighting source.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The 3M LED 5000<\/b><\/a> has 5 levels of light intensity (ranging from 90 lux to 880 lux luminance) for users to select according to their preferences and tasks.  The varying degree of light emission in the 3M LED 5000<\/b><\/a> allows users the flexibility to select the most optimum lighting level when we are doing different activities or functioning in different environments – an important feature not found in other desk lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The sleek, minimalist design allows the lamp to blend in and sit handsomely next to any contemporary furnishing in our space-starved homes. It is also lightweight with touch-sensor controls safe even for young children to operate.

Our eyes are an integral part of us. Without proper eye care, our family members might inadvertently face the prospects of protracted costs (and inconveniences) of having to contend with worsening eyesight and reliance on spectacles\/contact lenses. For that reason alone, a good task lamp is a worthwhile investment for every home. <\/div>\n
