MONOCULAR AND BINOCULAR VISUAL ABILITY IN NOCTURNAL DRIVING VISIBILITY

BINOCULAR AND MONOCULAR VISION AT NIGHT WERE STUDIED WITH THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION NIGHT SIGHT METER. NINETY-SIX SUBJECTS WERE TESTED FOR GLARE VISION, NIGHT VISION AND RECOVERY TIME. NO DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN MONOCULAR AND BINOCULAR NOCTURNAL VISIBILITY. THE INSTRUMENT ITSELF MAY ONLY BE VALID AS A MEASURE OF RECOVERY TIME FROM GLARE.
