Vision Aids / Optics & Lighting

Some men can’t imagine life without Grecian Formula to keep the gray out of their hair.  TV shows a 50ish guy with Magic Marker black hair, Corvette convertible, and a sexy young lady who’s younger than his first daughter by his second wife. This guy needs corrective lenses- either in Ralph Lauren frames or glued to his eyeballs.

I was born with 20/10L and 20/13R vision that began “fading” a few years ago.  At one time I could read the fine print in a car lease with no optical help.  Now I need glasses to read the TV guide. Time ALWAYS wins.

 The better you see, the better you stitch.

Genetics, age, and biological factors play significant roles in the quality of vision.

The ability to resolve bordering colors and fine detail diminishes with age. The quality of eye & brain functions invariably diminishes; but we are able to improve the quality of our vision.

Visual acuity is critical in needlework. Proper light and magnification enhances your vision. Eyestrain & weariness diminish.  New confidence & proficiency leads to greater enjoyment.

Your eyes register unimaginable amounts of information every second; your brain has to process that information to render a moving image in your mind.  When performance in either area is degraded, there wil be more load on the other. Result? Eyes strain to focus, the mind struggles to understand. Eyestrain, weariness & even headaches follow - not good.

Laura on the new APCO Magnifier Light:   “It’s more absorbing; you feel like you’re in another world, but in control.  You can get lost in there!”

“Sheba” has golden eyes, but I only see eye detail in the largest picture.

Quality lighting & magnification improves your performance, increasing your proficiency and enjoyment.

10 years ago Apco’s Phil Thai and I  worked out design details to separate the light source and magnifier onto separate pivots to improve one of Apco’s most popular modelsl. Six weeks later, we received a revised production model. WOW!

Apco’s exclusive height adjustment is another improvement resulting from a customer suggestion. The list is long.
