A glare test based on psychophysical estimation of intraocular light scatter and using a flickering, annular glare source was evaluated. The parameters determining the accuracy of the test were studied. In particular the influence of background light and flicker frequency were investigated and optimum values for best accuracy were found. Based on these findings a versatile and simple apparatus was constructed. Forty patients with various degrees of cataract were investigated in a clinical study. Patients, who subjectively experience severe glare problems, indeed show high glare values as measured with the apparatus. No obvious relation between visual acuity and glare score was found. In comparison with glare tests using a stationary glare source the use of a flickering glare source is advantageous in terms of sensitivity and accuracy.

Universidad de Valladolid, Spain.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of correlated color temperature from LED glare sources on driving performance. The evaluation includes assessing the effect of disability glare on visual reaction time and rating discomfort glare using a standardized scale.
Background: LED technology is widely incorporated into various lighting systems; however, the impact of glare from oncoming car headlamps on driving performance at night-time is crucial for road safety.

A star-filled sky has long been a source of awe and inspiration, and its loss adversely affects human, nonhuman, and environmental health. In one generation, this majestic nighttime overstory has been lost due to national and international overuse of light-emitting diodes lighting. This article canvasses ill health effects of excessive light at night.

Detecting roads in automatic driving environments poses a challenge due to issues such as boundary fuzziness, occlusion, and glare from light. We believe that two factors are instrumental in addressing these challenges and enhancing detection performance: global context dependency and effective feature representation that prioritizes important feature channels. To tackle these issues, we introduce DTRoadseg, a novel duplex Transformer-based heterogeneous feature fusion network designed for road segmentation.

Strong monochromatic point light sources such as Light Emitting Diodes (LED) or Lasers have been increasingly used in recent decades. This also raises the risk of misuse resulting in glare phenomena and associated visual impairment. The objective of this prospective and partially blinded study was the visualization and characterization of glare-induced scotomas in visual field by dazzling with monochromatic point light sources in terms of disability and discomfort glare.
