title: From visual performance to visual ergonomics: a personal historic view.
abstract: During the author's active time in vision research a change in attitude took place from 'visual performance' as a criterion to justify higher light levels, to 'visual ergonomics' as a more comprehensive approach to improve visual work conditions. Some personal memories of this transition period may serve as a historic framework.
