Popis: The problem of short term blindness following exposure to intense flashes of light has important practical implications for military aviators in the atomic age. Experimental studies of flash blindness are reviewed and the physiological bases for the phenomenon are inferred for a wide range of conditions. Several methods of developing a descriptive equation are considered and an empirical formulation is presented.
