Visual Stress (Oxford Psychology Series, 24)

This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive theory of visual discomfort, offering insights into various visual stresses that arise from design, reading, lighting, television, and VDU terminals.

The author's observation that certain visual stimuli are uncomfortable and induce seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy forms the basis of this pioneering work.

The book details techniques for preventing and treating visual discomfort, including color therapy and precision tinting of spectacle lenses.

As a student or researcher in perceptual psychology, visual science, neurology, or optometry, you won't want to miss this innovative new work.

With its focus on the importance of visual stimuli on psychological and neurophysiological functioning, this book is a welcome addition to the existing literature.
