PURPOSE Glare problems originating from bright lights are generally experienced more strongly at night. The typical disability glare is known to result from retinal straylight. In this study, the effects of pupil diameter and, especially in the case of small pupils, of eye wall translucency on the amount of retinal straylight were investigated. METHODS Straylight was measured as a function of...

Different daylight device systems and control strategies can be employed in different parts of a window system to perform functions, particularly for fully glazed façades. A light-shelves with parametric both portions the were proposed this study as an innovative daylighting improve distribution glare probability. The aim article was present simulation investigate influence light shelves on per...

This study was designed to assess whether macular pigment optical density (MPOD) is associated with visual performance. One hundred and forty-two young healthy subjects were recruited. Macular pigment optical density and visual performance were assessed by psychophysical tests including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivity, glare sensitivity, photostres...

We report on the development of a realistic dynamic simulation of oncoming headlamp glare in a driving simulator. To our knowledge, no such simulation had been attempted or achieved previously. The simulation is based on superposition of a bright LED display through a beam splitter on the simulator screen and synchronizing the illuminated LED position to the image of the simulated oncoming car....

PURPOSE To report the cosmetic and therapeutic use of corneal tattooing for a child with sectoral traumatic corneal scarring and symptomatic glare from sectoral traumatic iris loss. DESIGN Interventional case report. METHODS A six-year-old girl underwent corneal tattooing (platinum chloride reduced by hydrazine) in the relevant scarred corneal sector. RESULTS Six months after the procedur...

High-dynamic-range (HDR) images are superior to conventional images. The experiments in this paper measure camera and human responses to calibrated HDR test targets. We calibrated a 4.3-log-unit test target, with minimal and maximal glare from a changeable surround. Glare is an uncontrolled spread of an image-dependent fraction of scene luminance in cameras and in the eye. We use this standard ...

Although fabrics are widely used as shading devices, reliable simulation models are rather rare and therefore the choice of a fabric with appropriate material characteristics is difficult. This paper presents a simulation model, which can be applied to most of the common available fabric shading materials. Furthermore a comprehensive simulation study has been conducted in order to derive simple...

Aim: To compare the performance of keratoconus, penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and control subjects on clinical tests of contrast and glare vision, to determine whether differences in vision were independent of visual acuity (VA), and thereby establish which vision tests are the most useful for outcome studies of PK for keratoconus. Methods: All PK subjects had keratoconus before grafting and n...
