Mechanisms for discomfort glare in central vision.
PURPOSE The presence of a bright light source in the visual field can generate visual discomfort. Based on empirical observations we can predict to a reasonable degree of accuracy how uncomfortable a given lighting installation is likely to be; yet very little is known about the mechanism or physiological underpinnings that lead to visual discomfort. This study attempts to elucidate some of the...
متن کاملCortical hyperexcitability and sensitivity to discomfort glare
It is well established that there are two main aspects to glare, the visual impairment and the discomfort, known as disability and discomfort glare, respectively. In contrast to the case of disability glare we understand very little about the underlying mechanisms or physiology of discomfort glare. This study attempts to elucidate the neural mechanisms involved using fMRI and glare sources with...
متن کاملWorkshop on Discomfort Glare: Final Report
Limitations to the predominant models for discomfort glare prediction for electric lighting, the Unified Glare Rating and the Visual Comfort Probability, are well known. There is no single widely-accepted model as yet for discomfort experienced from daylight. Overhead glare from small, bright light sources is a newlyidentified problem. This workshop at the CIE Session in Sun City sought to anim...
متن کاملEvaluation of discomfort glare in the 50+ elderly: experimental study.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to analyze discomfort glare sensation in subjects aged 50 years and more in comparison with younger subjects (i.e. younger than 35 years of age). MATERIAL AND METHODS The experiments were performed on a computer workstation placed in controlled lighting environment where 2 discomfort glare conditions were modeled. Each participant performed for about 1 h sp...
متن کاملMacular pigment and visual performance in glare: benefits for photostress recovery, disability glare, and visual discomfort.
PURPOSE One theory of macular pigment's (MP) presence in the fovea is to improve visual performance in glare. This study sought to determine the effect of MP level on three aspects of visual performance in glare: photostress recovery, disability glare, and visual discomfort. METHODS Twenty-six subjects participated in the study. Spatial profiles of MP optical density were assessed with hetero...
