Eye Saver Light Bulb

See what eye-opening things people are saying about the Westinghouse Eye Saver® Light Bulb…


“I am favorably impressed with the 40% increase of light onto a patient’s reading area in comparison to a standard 125-watt bulb. The Eye Saver® bulb is certainly an effective way to improve visual performance for many individuals. As our population ages, this bulb will be very beneficial to all individuals who have vision problems.”

T. Joel Byars, O.D., Optometrist; Morrow, GA
Credentials: National officer in the American Optometric Association, Congress Chair in the Southern Council of Optometry (largest regional association in the U.S.), President of the Optometric Association (Georgia), President of the State Board of Optometry, nationally renowned eye-care professional


“The Westinghouse Eye Saver® bulb provides more light on the reading surface when used in a conventional table or bedside lamp. Patients with macular degeneration particularly seem to notice the improvement in reading ease compared to a standard bulb of the equivalent wattage. This bulb will provide a simple, inexpensive aid for those who lack visual acuity.”

Michael Freeman, O.D., Dr. Michael Freeman & Associates
Optometrist, P.C.; Arab, AL


“With a population that is aging, and lifestyles that demand more and more near work, optometrists face increasing challenges to provide adequate vision for their patients. Changes due to the aging process mean that a patient turning 50 needs far more light intensity to read at the 20/20 level than does a patient at 20. I feel the Eye Saver® bulb can be a simple, yet effective way of improving visual performance.”

Larry Carter, O.D., Optometrist; Hamilton, AL
Credentials: Former President of Alabama State Board of Optometry


“The chrome top is a brilliant idea, literally. This product is exactly what I need in my life. I am a literature and writing professor, constantly reading. It has been getting harder to do so under artificial light. As an English teacher with aging eyes, I highly recommend this product to anyone who reads a lot or does close work.” - Karin Rhodes


“I can see without squinting. I do a lot of knitting and other handwork from charts. This light bulb makes a world of
difference.”
- Gloria Wasser



“I use the Westinghouse Eye Saver® on the table where I read. I've noticed the improvement in reading for me. It has more light on the reading surface. I am 72 years of age. And with the Eye Saver® bulb I enjoy reading the newspaper more now. It has improved my visual performance. I will use this bulb in every room. This is a very good product.” - Herbert Wright



“This light bulb provides clear, bright light without the need to hold work papers close to the bulb or eyes – I intend to buy more than one to use in the three places I work at needlework, writing, and art.”
- Ms. Gladys Russo



“This is a great product at a great price. I was amazed at the amount of light I got from this bulb compared to other bulbs. It certainly made reading much more enjoyable with light spread more effectually over the pages.” - Judy A. Bavarian



“I would recommend the Eye Saver® light bulb for all those suffering from decreased eyesight. The main reason I say this is that I have cataracts, therefore, it appears that I need more light to see better. The Eye Saver® bulb was a great aid to me.” - Mrs. Heidi A. Dowd



“This bulb allows one to read anything very effectively with or without reading glasses, as the case may be. It really helps in reading small print articles. It certainly lives up to its name ‘Eye Saver’.” - Ms. Marilyn Schneider

“This light bulb is much more intensely bright than a standard light bulb. I have several eye problems, one of which is macular degeneration, and this Eye Saver® light bulb makes seeing to read noticeably easier. The intensity of brightness of the Eye Saver® bulb makes a vast difference when attempting to read or just see small objects, even if one has serious eye problems.” - Phyllis Burkhalter



“I am a quilter, and with my schedule it seems I only get to quilt in the evening. This is very hard on my eyes. What a difference this bulb made. It was great.

Thank you.” - Jan Peterson



“I think the light is excellent. Myself, I usually have to have a collective 200 watts of light to read, especially fine print. And my wife, who has floating cataracts, said the increased light was beneficial to her, also.” - Stephen Waltz



“I definitely would recommend the Eye Saver® 3-way bulb. People who need lots of direct light, which can be adjusted from 50 to 175 watts, will be delighted and satisfied.

This bright light gives me the freedom to continue to read (and read) and I work even better than before. There is no glare!” - Hattie Farrelly

I am a person who likes a lot of light when working on something and this bulb does all that it says it does.” - Ms. Suzanne Fatula



“Excellent, I’ve enjoyed using this bulb for reading and want to purchase some more. My eyesight isn’t as keen as it used to be. I’m also a diabetic and this bulb is my salvation. The 3-way 50/125/175 watt is much better than the 50/100/150 watt bulbs.” - Mrs. Donna Russell



“I’m blind in my right eye and have had a detached retina and cataract removed from my left eye. This bulb made things bright and didn’t cause eye strain.” - Ms. Cheri L. Stuart



“A product whose advertising is the truth. Everything on the box is the product. Loved it- works for my old eyes. Great reading light.“ - Mrs. Marilyn Loniewski



“This Eye Saver® bulb is an excellent bulb for people who need more light to read or work by. I am an elderly person who needs more light on the surface of my desk.

“I really like this light bulb. My son just happened to be sitting in the chair next to the floor lamp. I asked him if he liked my new light bulb and he was very impressed with it. My grandson (13) was reading by the light a few days ago, but preferred the very lowest setting. I must say, I would recommend it.” - Wilda Wilson



“I have never seen a light bulb like this. I like it. The chrome top does keep the light more downward. I tried it in several spots. I like it especially by the chair where I read and also at my computer and desk area.” - Mrs. Janet Smith



“I am past the age of fifty and do have low vision. I work on my computer a lot and other light bulbs I have used cast a glare on my screen and make it hard to focus on what I am doing.

My eyes do not tire like they did with my old bulbs.” - Ms. Shirley Overend

“I put this new bulb in my 3-way lamp. Hours later I turned the lamp on to read my mail. Wow!! I said to myself, the light seems different. I can actually see what I am reading and there is plenty of light around me. It suddenly dawned on me that it was the new bulb I put in. Yes!! It’s the greatest. That silver brings the light to us.” - Bessie Ferris



“The Eye Saver® reading bulb is the best. Many a time I would have to tip the shade in different directions to get the best lighting for whatever I need it for. This doesn’t happen while using this Eye Saver® bulb. I’d recommend to everyone to at least try this bulb, and they’ll never go back to the others.” - Mrs. Pam A. Clark



“I have the beginnings of macular degeneration and it does seem to focus the light better than other bulbs. I didn’t find myself squinting to focus on the words on the page.” - Barbara Rogers



“I used it in my bedside light and was pleased with the amount of light it put off. I am in the group that needs more light due to the aging process. I had paid $12.00 for the light that I took out and it didn’t put out as much light as the Eye Saver® bulb.” - Ms. Sandra Brady

“I only have sight in one eye and suffer from diabetic retinopathy. Proper light while reading is of utmost importance. The Eye Saver® bulb is a great asset for people with poor sight.” - Patricia Melillo



“I have poor vision. Most lights make shadows on what I’m reading. The Eye Saver® light bulb does not and it is easier for me to see while I am reading. I read a lot and anything that can help I like, and I really do like this light bulb.”
- Rosemary Gray



“The Westinghouse Eye Saver® bulb makes an excellent reading light. Having had a family member that suffered from macular degeneration, I know that this product would have helped them, at a fraction of the cost they had to spend on lights that did little to improve their reading.” - T. Deavers
