Description/Abstract
The
hazard
of
flash
blindness
to the
success
of an
aerospace
mission
is
well
recognized
.
Until
recently
, there has been a
paucity
of
information
on the
effects
of
short-duration
,
high-intensity
light
flashes
on
visual
performance
. This
paper
presents
the
results
of
several
experiments
designed
to
study
the
severity
of the
visual
disturbance
from this
type
of
photostress
. In these
expanded
and
more
comprehensive
studies
subjects
have been
exposed
to
bright
flashes
that
illuminate
the
cornea
with
intensities
up
to
242,000
lux
(about
twice
the
illumination
that an
unprotected
astronaut
would be
exposed
to on an
earth
orbit)
. An
analysis
has been
made
of the
effect
of
drug-induced
miosis
upon
the
time
required
for
recovery
. The
relevance
of the
information
derived
from this
work
to
problems
of
space
and
nuclear
operations
is
mentioned
, and the
operational
significance
is
implied
.
