Summary
This paper investigates the regulation of pupil size in natural vision across the human lifespan, focusing on the effects of age and spectrally weighted illumination on light-adapted pupil size during real-life indoor and outdoor light and viewing-task conditions.
Categories
Aging: The paper discusses how pupil size is affected by age, with steady-state pupil size starting to decrease after the second decade of life, both in dark and light adaptation.
Eye health: The paper explores the role of the pupil in human vision, its ability to adjust the amount of incident light, and how this is affected by factors such as age and light conditions.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper suggests that age should be considered in personalised lighting solutions and that melanopsin-weighted light measures should be used to assess real-world lighting conditions.
