Do you have adequate lighting in your home?

Ensure that you have the correct level of lighting in your home. If you need brighter lighting fluorescent bulbs are brighter and cost less to use.

Are the lighting levels in your home consistent?

It is safest to have similar lighting in each room. Add lighting to dark areas and you can hang lightweight curtains or shades to reduce glare.

Is the path from your bed to the bathroom dark?

Put in a night light so that you can see where you are walking. Night lights are low energy lights which plug into a mains socket. A dusk to dawn light will switch on and off automatically.

Do you have regular eye checks?

Have your eyes checked by an optician at least once a year and update your glasses. Opticians can visit you at home if you are unable to get out.
