LightWedge Mini Provides Light and Magnification for Aging Readers with Fading Vision
Nantucket, MA – October 20, 2005 – As eyes age, readers experience greater difficulty focusing on
small print items. This condition, called presbyopia, affects an estimated 90 million Americans,
including almost anyone over age 50 to some degree.
Presbyopia causes letters to look fuzzy when reading up close and makes it difficult to read in low–light
situations. To help combat this problem, the makers of the LightWedge (www.lightwedge.com) book
light, have introduced the LightWedge Mini, to provide the light boost and text magnification that
readers with aging eyes need.
The LightWedge Mini is side lit by bright LEDs. Readers place the flat, acrylic lens across the book
page and are able to read comfortably in the dark, without bothering anyone around them. The
LightWedge Mini is specifically designed for magnified reading on the go. It is pocket–sized and has a
1.5X magnification bar, making it particularly useful for reading menus in dimly lit restaurants and
programs in dark theatres.
LightWedge also has a new LightWedge Magnifier accessory for its regular book lights. The Magnifier
slides onto the LightWedge LED book light and magnifies the entire book page 1.25X. For the millions
of Americans with presbyopia, these LightWedge products offer a way to help them read more
enjoyably.
The LightWedge line of products also offers something for younger readers whose eyes still work fine.
The Harry Potter™ LUMOS Book Light received the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum
Award this year. LUMOS includes seven interchangeable on/off switch covers featuring favorite Harry
Potter icons, such as the Golden Snitch, Harry's owl Hedwig and his wand. Soft cases for storing the
LUMOS when not in use, embroidered with each of the Hogwarts house crests, are also available.
For more information about the LightWedge Mini (US$14.95), LightWedge Book Light (starting at
US$24.95), LightWedge Magnifier (starting at US$17.95), or the Harry Potter LUMOS Book Light (US$34.95) go to www.lightwedge.com or call 508-228-9334 or toll-free 1-877-777-9334.
