Glare Sensitivity

Problems with glare are associated with retinal degenerative diseases. Disappearing contours and contrast make it difficult to recognise surroundings. At the street crossing, the person, the light car, the street and the steps in the background blend together to form a light, milky expanse.

In extreme cases problems with glare can make it feel like walking into a white wall. Individuals suffering from glare problems can often find relief with filters for eye-wear, side blinders/shields and hats with wide brims that help shade the eyes.
