Pedestrian detection with and without yellow-lens glasses during simulated night driving
JAMA Ophthalmology Oct 15, 2019
Hwang AD, et al. - Utilizing a driving simulator equipped with a custom headlight glare (HLG) simulator, researchers explored the link between yellow-lens glasses and the detection of pedestrians with and without an oncoming HLG. Between September 8, 2016, and October 25, 2017, a single-center cohort study was performed at the Schepens Eye Research Institute. Participants in the study were 22 individuals. According to findings, yellow-lens night-driving glasses did not seem to improve pedestrian detection at night or reduce the negative effects of HLG on pedestrian detection performance using a driver simulator equipped with an HLG simulator. Significant main effects of HLG were observed for young participants with dark navy blue shirt pedestrian condition and for older people with orange shirt pedestrian condition, where the disparity in response time between with and without HLG was greater for older participants than for younger ones. Such results do not appear to support the use of yellow-lens night-driving glasses by eye care practitioners.
