Abstract

It has been suggested by Sjöstrand and his colleagues that an index of scatter by the ocular media may be derived from contrast sensitivity measured with and without a glare source. This index was tested under different conditions of stimulus luminance and found not to be constant and thus to not reflect a property of the media.
