Factors That Determine Visual Acuity through Night Vision Goggles for Emmetropes
Abstract
Many factors which could affect visual acuity (VA) with night vision goggles (NVGs) already have been studied, e.g., night sky condition and target contrast (Levine and Rash, 1989a and 1989b; Wiley, 1989; Kotulak and Rash, 1992) , NVG generation (Miller et al., 1984; Kotulak and Rash, 1992), nuclear flashblindness protection (Levine and Rash, 1989a and 1989b), chemical protective masks (Miller et al., 1989; Donohue-Perry, Riegler, and Hausman, 1990), signal-to-noise ratio (Riegler et al., 1991), interpupillary distance misadjustment (King and morse, 1992), and instrument myopia (Kotulak and Morse, 1992, 1994a, and 1994b; Kotulak, Morse, and Wiley, 1993). Another factor which could influence NVG VA is decreased unaided VA, i.e., VA without NVGs; however, relatively little is known about it.
