- Subjective evaluation of discomfort glare.
- An objective measure of discomfort glare.
- Origins of discomfort glare Light sources of excessive brightness or uneven distribution in the field of view can cause glare of varying degrees from a mild sensation of discomfort to an intolerable feeling of pain. The precise physiological origins of the discomfort experienced under bright lights remain obscure. Much work has been carried out to discover what aspects of lighting may be manipulated to reduce or eliminate this discomfort, but at present the physiological and psychophysical processes underlying its origin and aetiology are poorly understood. In addition, little is known concerning the basis of the very large range of individual differences found in studies with discomfort glare.
- Pupil responses and discomfort glare Much of the research into the physiological basis of discomfort arising from glare has been concerned with pupillary responses. Since the iris has a rich supply of free sensory nerve endings, it is quite plausible that the iridomotor system could be involved in the sensation of discomfort felt in the presence of glare sources. ... This is also supported by similar findings (Fugate and Fry, 1956) which indicate that at high background lighting levels the eye becomes adapted to the brighter levels and tolerates a higher level of luminance without discomfort. Furthermore, Hopkinson (1956) reported that pupil becomes unstable in conditions producing discomfort glare, implying that the dynamic characteristics of pupillary hippus are exaggerated under discomfort glare conditions. ...
- In addition, Fry and King (1975) made a Fourier analysis of the response of pupil to a sinusoidally modulated light (at different levels of discomfort glare) and reported that a low-frequency oscillation (0. ...
- , 1993) to verify possibly changes in the power spectrum of hippus when discomfort and no discomfort (average pupil size remained the same) was present, showed no differences, even when the reported discomfort was nearly intolerable. They concluded that because there are no dominant frequency characteristics in the amplitude spectra of the pupillary hippus, it is very unlikely that discomfort glare could be associated with pupillary hippus. ... Moreover, the recordings of pupil size with discomfort glare commenced about 5 seconds after the glare source was turned on, which might have lead to an adaptation to the bright light (see Ahmed and Bennett, 1978).
