Predicting the long-term use of overlays in children: the Pattern Glare Test
British and Irish Orthoptic Journal, 2015 'Aim: 'To determine whether the Institute of Optome- try Pattern Glare Test (PGT) could be used as a sensitive tool to predict the continued use of coloured overlays for reading in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years and to compare its sensitivity with ...

Pattern-induced visual discomfort and its cumulative effects revealed by pupillary measures [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIntroductionViewing repetitive striped patterns can induce pattern glare, experienced as visual discomfort (VD). While previous studies examined either pupillary responses or VD separately, few have investigated how they covary or evolve with repeated ...

Designing a Kinetic Façade to Control Glare: Inspiration of Long-Day Plants Pattern
Journal of DaylightingIn this study, to control glare in buildings with glass facades, a kinetic facade was designed using a pattern inspired by nature. Accordingly, in this study, due to the essential similarity of buildings with plants regarding the inability to move and ...

Reading through the eyes of a university student: A double-masked randomised placebo-controlled cross-over protocol investigating coloured spectacle lens efficacy in adults with visual stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBackgroundVisual stress is a reading disorder characterised by perceptual distortions, asthenopia and headache whilst reading, alongside increased sensitivity to repeated striped patterns ('pattern glare'), in the absence of underlying ocular pathology ...

The missing N1 or jittered P2: Electrophysiological correlates of pattern glare in the time and frequency domain. [PDF]
Eur J Neurosci, 2021 Abstract Excessive sensitivity to certain visual stimuli (cortical hyperexcitability) is associated with a number of neurological disorders including migraine, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, autism and possibly dyslexia. Others show disruptive sensitivity to visual stimuli with no other obvious pathology or symptom profile (visual ...

Robust optical design of high-contrast vehicle headlamps with cylindrical lens array and inverted triangular beam pattern [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHeadlamps are essential for safe night driving, as they must provide sufficient brightness to illuminate the road while minimizing glare for other drivers.

The Pattern Glare Test: Further Exploration of Methodological and Demographic Factors. [PDF]
Invest Ophthalmol Vis SciThe Pattern Glare Test (PGT) is a widely used tool for assessing visual discomfort and perceptual distortions elicited by repetitive, high-contrast patterns. It has been applied across diverse populations and research fields, including neuroscience, cognitive psychology, optometry, orthoptics, and ophthalmology.

Edges and gradients in lightness illusions: Role of optical veiling glare
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Lightness Illusions (Contrast, Assimilation, and Natural Scenes with Edges and Gradients) show that appearances do not correlate with the light sent from the scene to the eye.
