High Performance Reading Lights for Cataracts

A cataract is developed when the eye’s natural lens clouds over. As cataracts can cause sensitivity to bright light, a great reading light for cataracts should be as natural as possible and employ a dimming function to adjust the light output to suit ambient conditions.

    Our sole focus is building high performance lights that project a superior quality of light to help you see and feel better. Many Serious Light owners find our lights help with their cataracts.

    Serious Lights for reading are recommended by over 500 independent opticians, and used by over 250,000 light owners in over 63 countries.

    As everyone’s eyesight is unique, we pride ourselves on offering a 30 day risk-free trial, allowing you to test your Serious Reading Light in your own home. If for any reason you find the light unsuitable, we will collect the light at our cost (UK mainland only) and fully refund you.

    However, 99% of people who decide to try a Serious Light end up keeping it. Thousands of Serious Light owners use their lights to help with their cataracts.

    We particularly recommend the High Definition Light for cataracts as it offers a natural, balanced bright light beam as close to the daylight our eyes are built to use.
