When age is catching up on us, we will start to face new challenges with our poor eye sight. This is when farsightedness or hyperopia starts to creep into our lives. Farsightedness or hyperopia is caused by the lens in the eyes not able to focus correctly to see nearby objects. This problem will occur in the later stage in life as the results of weakening of the ciliary muscles and decreased flexibility of the lens. Initially, you start by straining our eyes to focus on close objects especially when you read. Later on, when you gain acceptance of the problem, you will need a new pair of spectacles.

In the initial stage, you will find the home lighting is a problem. Suddenly you will feel that the house is not bright enough for your reading. You will start to complain that reading is getting difficult because of poor lighting.

The next place you will find problem is bathroom light fixtures. The bathroom seems to be darker than usual. You will find it difficult to do your shaving as the lights are not bright enough.

Eventually, you will start to change you light fixtures to adapt to you. New light fixtures will provide the extra brightness to make reading more pleasurable, shaving in the bathroom easier and overall comfort in your own house better.
