Measuring Discomfort from Glare: Recommendations for Good Practice
@article{Fotios2020MeasuringDF, title={Measuring Discomfort from Glare: Recommendations for Good Practice}, author={Steve Fotios and Michael G. Kent}, journal={LEUKOS}, year={2020}, volume={17}, pages={338 - 358} }
ABSTRACT This article presents a review of the methods used for subjective evaluation of discomfort from glare, focusing on the two procedures most frequently used in past research – adjustment and category rating. Evidence is presented to demonstrate that some aspects of these procedures influence the evaluation, such as the range of glare source luminances available in an adjustment procedure, leading to biased evaluations and which hence reduce the reliability and validity of the data. The…

Glare discomfort and pupil diameter.
- EducationJournal of the Optical Society of America
- 1956
The study indicates that the pupil diameter by itself cannot be used as an objective indicator of the degree of glare discomfort, as the more concentrated the source producing the illumination at the eye the greater the contraction of the pupil.
