What are signs of poor lighting?

6/24/2015

0 Comments

 
The most common complaints resulting from poor lighting are:

  • difficulty seeing document or screen (too much light or glare, or too little light or shadows),
  • eyestrain,
  • eye irritation,
  • blurred vision,
  • dry burning eyes, and
  • headaches.
Poor lighting affects not only the ocular system but can also contribute to stiff necks and aches in shoulder area. These problems can occur when people adopt poor or awkward postures when trying to read something under poor lighting conditions.

A good visual environment will:

  • have sufficient light, coming from the right direction and not cause obscuring shadows,
  • provide good (but not excessive) contrast between the task and the background,
  • limit glare and extreme contrasts, and
  • provide the right type of light.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms please contact us at 604-372-2400 and we will come by a complete a lighting survey for you.
