Amber filter with self-administered near vision screening card / Saiful Azlan Rosli … [et al.]

Visibility is defined as the greatest distance at which an object can be seen and recognized in either daylight or at night when the general illumination is increased to a daylight level. Visibility can be influenced by several factors, which include colour and contrast. Previous studies, which inve...
