Abstract
A quantitative visual test measures the rate at which an individual is able to complete a defined visual task, either on paper or on a self illuminated screen. The task involves comparing a plurality of similar appearing numbers to determine if they are an exact match within predetermined levels of time. Inability to complete the test within the predetermined level of time indicates the likelihood that the individual will exhibit visual stress and dyslexia. Individuals under such stress are then remediated by the use of adjusted lighting environments sometimes including other visual aids.
Claims10
A method for ameliorating visual stress, increasing efficiency and lowering work content comprising the steps of:
- providing lighting for a work space which is of indirect form;
- measuring the intensity of said lighting;
- testing an individual under said measured intensities adjusting the intensity of said lighting so that at least 50% of the light is contributed from the lighted ceiling;
- and up to 25% of the lighting is laterally reflected from walls;
- and up to a further 25% of the lighting is diffused by a shade or neutral filter;
- re-testing said individual under said adjusted intensities;
- and comparing said test results to predetermined norms.
