VISUAL GLARE
VISUAL GLARE

To measure outdoor glare caused by summer insolation (solar radiation and bright reflections),

the most widely used methods utilize Luminance (cd/m²) and Illuminance (lux).


Veiling glare is an optical phenomenon in which stray light scatters across the retina,

superimposing a "veil" of luminance over the image you are viewing.


It dramatically reduces contrast, making it difficult to distinguish subtle details or read

objects located near bright light sources.


...what...

...it's that...!...

...if you say...

..

...

...now that would affect while i'm driving...

...mmm...!...

...

...and in shooting...

...duh...

...

...and in reconnaissance..

...mmmn...



-> NEED to assess visual capabilities and limitations against the operating climate

during each season.


...it can be [in summer] bedazzled...

...and then un...!...

...

...it can...

...mmmm…



Sharp shooter vision systems encompass specialized eye examinations and

training apparatuses designed to for markspersons :


- optimize visual acuity

- depth perception

- cross-eye dominance



Because traditional sight pictures rely heavily on exact visual alignment,

these systems combine optometric tests with visual performance training.


1. Eye Dominance Testing:


Determines whether your brain relies more heavily on the left or right

eye, which is vital for preventing cross-eye aiming errors.



2. Contrast & Color Sensitivity:


Tests your ability to distinguish targets (such as clay pigeons) against

complex backgrounds.



3. Dynamic Visual Acuity:


Evaluates your eyes’ ability to focus clearly on fast-moving targets.



4. Vitamin Deficiency Tests:



# Eye Overheating


...would it be outdoor...?...

...would...!...

...mmm...


High temperature can cause the tear film of the eye to evaporate quickly,

resulting in dry eye symptoms, including redness, irritation, burning

sensation, and tearing.



# Eye Allergies


High temperatures and high levels of irritants and pollutants in the

air increase the risk of eye allergies.


Burning eyes are primarily caused by severe dry eye syndrome, which can

be exacerbated by deficiencies in key nutrients like :


i. Vitamin A


ii. Vitamin B12


iii. Vitamin D


iv. Omega-3 fatty acids


These vitamins and fatty acids support tear production, lubrication, and

corneal health.



5. Stinging or Sore Eyes


[for] quick relief from stinging eyes you can try:


Rinsing your eyes with lukewarm water:


Rinsing your eyes with water can remove any allergens or irritants that

cause the burning sensation in your eyes, and this may help reduce any

dryness or inflammation.


Creating a warm compress:


Soaking a cloth in warm water and then applying the warm compress over

your eyes for a few minutes a day can also reduce burning.


Staying hydrated:


Drinking more water can increase eye moisture and reduce dry eyes – another

cause of stinging and irritation. Another way of increasing moisture is

by running a humidifier, as this boosts moisture in the air which prevents

dry burning eyes.


Reducing screen time:


Due to the pandemic and online study/working from home becoming more

common, the time we spend staring at screens every day has increased,

and this could lead to digital eye strain. Reducing how long you spend

looking at screens could prevent irritation and burning.

Contact lens wearers with allergies should speak with their GP about

the best way to alleviate the symptoms, including special eye drops and

over-the-counter antihistamines.


If you suffer from dry eye syndrome and this results in frequent

discomfort:

- lubricating eye drops

- applying a cold or warm compress

- artificial tears



If your stinging eyes are consistent, and you start to experience

- blurred vision

- pain

- flashes of light

- double vision

- excessive light sensitivity


it's essential to reach out to your GP.



...oh...

...and done...

...mmm...
