TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - A rapid test for dark adaptation JO - Annals of ophthalmology A1 - Thornton, S. P. SP - 731 EP - 734 VL - 9 IS - 6 N2 - With the known relationship between defects in dark adaptation and vitamin A deficiency, liver disease, and retinal degenerative changes, the development of a practical and simple test of dark adaptation has taken on some importance. Standard dark adaptation testing instruments are somewhat impractical, expensive, and not generally available. Therefore a simple, in expensive test for evaluation of dark adaptation is desirable. Using established standards of macular dark adaptation, a test was designed that appears to be relatively simple, reasonably accurate, and rapid. The test and equipment are described.
