Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Blue Light Filtration on Visual Performance (NCT NCT01938989)

NCT ID: NCT01938989

Last Updated: 2015-01-19

Results Overview

Photostress Recovery Time is the time necessary to recover function (e.g., contrast discrimination) following exposure to a bright glare source. The subject fixated on an image (black and white grating) and underwent photostress (glare) for 5 seconds. Only 1 eye (study eye) was assessed.
