The influence
of aging
As people age, their need for light increases. With aging,
the eye’s lens becomes less transparent, reducing the
amount of light that reaches the retina.
Good lighting is one of the most important and least understood
design elements to provide supportive environments for all
older people. Because of the dramatic growth of the 65+
population, we all need to understand the needs of older adults
and provide environments designed to meet their needs with
sufficient intensity and light quality.
