title: Radial keratotomy increases the effects of disability glare: initial results.
abstract: Attempts to correct myopia by surgical intervention (radial keratotomy) are increasing, and disability glare is emerging as a common subjective postsurgical complaint. To date, efforts to quantify this complaint have failed. By measuring increment thresholds in the presence of a point-glare source, we have been able to measure large glare effects (up to six times normal) at low background luminance levels.
