Relationship between night myopia and night-time motor vehicle accidents.
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between night myopia and the occurrence of night-time motor vehicle accidents in a group of professional drivers. METHODS We examined 136 professional drivers. Refraction was determined in full illumination (100 cd/m2) and after sitting in darkness for 5 mins. The change in refraction, indicative of night myopia, was correlated with the number of motor ...
متن کاملShedding light on night myopia.
First described during the 18th century, the cause of night myopia remains a controversial topic. Whereas several explanations have been suggested in the literature, particularly related with accommodation or chromatic shift in scotopic light conditions, no definitive explanation for its aetiology has been provided. We describe an experiment in which ocular refractive state was objectively and ...
متن کاملNight myopia is reduced in binocular vision.
Night myopia, which is a shift in refraction with light level, has been widely studied but still lacks a complete understanding. We used a new infrared open-view binocular Hartmann-Shack wave front sensor to quantify night myopia under monocular and natural binocular viewing conditions. Both eyes' accommodative response, aberrations, pupil diameter, and convergence were simultaneously measured ...
متن کاملInteractions between Brown-out Accidents and Night Vision Equipment in Military Aviation Accidents
Night vision devices (NVDs) mitigate risks in low visibility operations through image intensification or infrared imaging. However, NVDs create new risks, including a host of human factors problems. The operation of night vision equipment has been associated with several different forms of spatial disorientation. The following pages describe how this disorientation exacerbates the hazards creat...
متن کاملAnalyzing The Interactions between Brown-out Accidents and Night Vision Equipment in Military Aviation Accidents:
Night vision devices mitigate the risks associated with operations in low levels of visibility. They help personnel to maximize visual resources through image intensification or infrared imaging. However, night vision devices also create new risks. They encourage personnel to conduct operations that would otherwise have been rejected. They also create a host of human factors problems that are i...
