The effects of a <scp>HEV</scp> ‐filtering contact lens on the brightness of natural images
The collection of images appeared ≈12% brighter (averaged across spherical, multifocal and toric lenses on a log scale) when wearing the HEV-filtering lenses; this translates to about 40% more energy needed to match the comparison field with the adjacent images. These results illustrate that lenses filtering HEV light are capable of increasing the subjective brightness of a naturalistic scene.
