Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design as it requires to account for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks, and understand the f ...
PURPOSE. To define the phenotypic manifestation, confirm the genetic basis, and delineate the pathogenic mechanisms underlying an oculoauricular syndrome (OAS). METHODS. Two individuals from a consanguineous family underwent comprehensive clinical phenotyp ...
NR2E3, also called photoreceptor-specific nuclear receptor (PNR), is a transcription factor of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily whose expression is uniquely restricted to photoreceptors. There, its physiological activity is essential for proper rod ...
While the influence of a glare source's spectrum on sensitivity to discomfort glare has been demonstrated repeatedly under electric light conditions, it has not yet been studied under actual daylit conditions. To investigate the influence of spectral alter ...
PURPOSE: Examination of morphology in corneal ablation induced by a q-switched Er:YSGG (2.79 mu m) laser and a free-running Er:YAG laser (2.94 mu m). ...
Understanding the factors that influence the human perception of glare is necessary to properly address glare risks in buildings and achieve comfortable visual environments, especially in the workplace. Yet large inter-individual variabilities in glare per ...
Current trends in discomfort glare research have suggested the influence of physiological parameters on individual glare perception. To this end, we hypothesize that a specific ocular physiology characteristic, namely the macular pigment (MP) in the retina ...

Discomfort glare from daylight can lower productivity and hinder effective use of daylight in buildings. Existing glare prediction models have limitations in accounting for the large inter-individual differences, mainly due to unknown physiological factors ...
