Description
Laura Clavé and colleagues measured how colored light changes the halos people see around bright points at night, in a 2026 vision study. Fifty healthy adults took part, split evenly between a group under 25 years and a group over 54.
A light disturbance analyser recorded halo size through filters tinted red, green, and blue, before and after optics corrected the eye's color focus error, called longitudinal chromatic aberration. White and green light gave the smallest halos and blue the largest in both age groups. Correcting the focus error under blue light shrank halos, a result that matters for night driving complaints and for lens design.
