why do I see flashes of light in the dark? When you’re in the dark, your eyes play tricks on you and make you see tiny flashes of light. These flashes of light are actually just little micro-images of the surrounding scene. They exist in your retina, and your brain processes these ...
demonstrated that flashes of UV-C light are perceived by UVR8, the photoreceptor for UV-B light. Furthermore, their findings indicated that UVR8 can indeed perceive UV-C light at the used dose, provided that it is in the form of flashes (1 s) rather than continuous illumination (60 s)...
7 Double-flash responses allow the isolation of cone responses from rod in both human macula (a) and periphery (b). Representative responses from human donor macular (a, black) and peripheral (b, red) punches to double-flash light stimuli to isolate cone responses. Light flashes are ...
For the light-adapted 3.0 ERG test we used a sequence of five single-flashes of white light (3.0 cd.s/m2) generated in a Ganzfeld stimulator against a light white background (30 cd/m2), with a stimulus rate of 0.625 Hz and a recording bandpass filter of 1–300 Hz. The resulting wa...
Positive dysphotopsia (PD) is described by patients as glare, light streaks, light arcs, flashes of light, and starbursts produced by an external light source, whereas negative dysphotopsia (ND) is a dark temporal peripheral arc-shaped shadow or line [[1]]....

Dark-adapted responses were recorded first using flash intensity that ranged from −3.6 to 2.1 log candles s/m2. Stimuli were presented in order of increasing intensity, and the number of successive responses averaged together decreased from 20 for low-intensity flashes to 2 for the highest ...

Photoreception - Adaptation, Vision, Light: The human visual system manages to provide a usable signal over a broad range of light intensities. However, some eyes are better adapted optically to dealing with light or dark conditions. For example, the sup
According to Rushton’s paradox, a short flash induces an equivalent dark adaption process after exposure as a quantumequivalent 30 second bleach37. This indicates that the small differences in stimulation time in the studies using short flashes are not essential to understand the underlying effects...
