Eye Care Day | Reconsidering Daily Lighting and Eye Strain

October 10th is "Eye Care Day." It's a day to think about eye health, named because "10 10" rotated horizontally resembles a person's eyes and eyebrows.

When we think of eye strain, smartphones and computers come to mind, but actually, "the lighting in the room itself" also plays a role in eye comfort.

If there's not enough brightness, your eyes will overwork

When you do detailed work or read in a dark room, your eyes strain to see. Having sufficient brightness appropriate for the task is fundamental for reducing eye strain.

Three key points for light to consider for eye strain

Brightness: Sufficient brightness for the task. Adjust with dimming according to the scene.
Glare: A design where light does not directly enter the eyes and diffuses uniformly reduces discomfort when looking directly at it.
Flicker: Even flicker invisible to the naked eye is considered a cause of eye fatigue. Flicker-free design provides peace of mind.

"Eye-friendly light" is about the environment, not medical treatment.

What's important here is that lighting is not a medical device; it doesn't restore vision or prevent diseases. What it can do is merely "create a lighting environment that is less straining on the eyes." For more on this concept, please also refer to Children's Eyes and Light.

In the case of lipro

The Sunlight Ceiling Light features a color rendering index of Ra97+, 0-100% dimming, a glare-conscious design with uniform light diffusion, and flicker-free technology. It can create a lighting environment that considers "brightness, glare, and flicker" all in one unit.

Summary | Revisit your room's lighting on Eye Care Day

Eye Care Day is a great opportunity to re-evaluate your daily lighting environment. Simply adjusting brightness, glare, and flicker can make your room more eye-friendly.
