light adaptation

• Physiologischer Vorgang, bei dem sich das Auge an eine höhere Beleuchtungsstärke anpasst, meist durch Verengung der Pupille und Verringerung der Lichtempfindlichkeit der Netzhaut.

The physiological process by which the eye adjusts to increased levels of illumination, typically involving the constriction of the pupil and reduced sensitivity of the retina to light.

   The process by which the eye adjusts to bright light conditions, involving the constriction of the pupil and changes in retinal sensitivity.

   Helladaptation

   • Light adaptation occurs quickly when you step from a dark room into sunlight.
   • The human eye undergoes light adaptation to reduce glare and improve vision.
   • After light adaptation, the cones in the retina become more active.
