Abstract
Contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) were measured under conditions of glare and no glare. The spatial frequencies used were 1.7,2.4,3.00, 11.4, and 18.5 cycles/deg. The CSFs obtained showed greatest sensitivity around 3.00 cycles/deg for both glare and no-glare conditions. Generally, glare reduced sensitivity over all frequencies tested.Keywords
