TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Glare and night vision impairment in corrective lens wearers JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Freivalds, Andris A1 - Harpster, Jeffrey L. A1 - Heckman, Lisa S. SP - 324 EP - 328 VL - 27 IS - 4 N2 - Glare sensitivity, night vision and glare recovery measures on a night-driving vision tester were collected on 60 students, of whom 34 had uncorrected vision, 18 wore corneal contact lenses and 8 wore spectacles. An analysis of variance disclosed significant decrements in glare sensitivity and night vision for those with corrected vision. Further analysis with a pairwise comparison on contact and spectacle wearers showed hard contact lenses to be worst, followed by soft contact lenses and spectacles. A concern for the ability and safety of corrective lens wearers during nicht driving is indicated.
