title: Response of limited residual vision patients to working conditions with varied light and color combinations.
abstract: The emphasis of this study encompasses two major areas: 1) light intensity, 2) color contrast. We were interested in this study to see how the manipulation of these two major variables might aid severely visually handicapped persons (legally blind) to be more productive and comfortable on the job. In the research that National Industries for the Blind did on this subject, it was clear that little has been accomplished in this area with legally blind persons in attempting to see how they might be better assisted in the area of actual work performance.
