Dark Adaptation of Retinal Fields of Different Size and Location
Abstract
Chapter IINTRODUCTIONDark adaptation is the progressive increase in retinal sensitivity in the absence of general stimulation of the eyes by light. It is a process which occurs both in the rods and in the cones. The speed with which sensitivity increases, the extent to which it increases, and the level of the first more or less unchanging plateau of sensitivity depend upon the duration, intensity, and spectral quality of the previous stimulation, and upon the location and the area of the retina stimulated.
