Improvement of Visual Detection During 'Whiteout'

The magnitude of myopia exhibited by eight men in an unstructured visual field was measured, and corrective glasses were supplied to them. Their ability to detect small, low contrast targets with and without these corrections was subsequently compared during a mild whiteout in the Antarctic. The dis...

Description
Summary:The magnitude of myopia exhibited by eight men in an unstructured visual field was measured, and corrective glasses were supplied to them. Their ability to detect small, low contrast targets with and without these corrections was subsequently compared during a mild whiteout in the Antarctic. The distance at which the targets were detected was improved for three men, and two others reported that the clarity of the targets was improved. Three men reported no difference.
