Description
This book provides the first general and unified theory of visual discomfort. Based on the author’s observation that people find certain visual stimuli uncomfortable–and that these same stimuli induce seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy–the book offers fascinating insights into a variety of visual stresses that arise from design, reading, lighting, television, and VDU terminals. A range of techniques for preventing and treating visual discomfort–from color therapy to precision tinting of spectacle lenses–are described in detail. Students and researchers in perceptual psychology, visual science, neurology, and optometry will want to read this pioneering new work.
