Though "fully adjust" is a bit of a misnomer. A day vision and a night vision, if you will.Īs such, when the lights go out, your photopic vision is the first to fully adjust. An easy way to think about this is that our photopic vision works well in in the daytime, and our scotopic vision becomes useful only when it gets dark out. The rods are responsible for our sensitivity to light, which we call our scotopic vision. The cones are there to help us see color and detail, this is known as our photopic vision. Our current understanding of our eye is that these rods and cones work in tandem to create a composite image that we all know and love as our vision. As you might already know, within your retina sit a number of rods and cones. Your eyes rely on two overlapping systems for visual perception. It takes a little while for your eyes to physically adjust There might be bumps you may or may not have heard, or brushes against your skin you may or may not have felt. Your mind might be racing, struggling to pick up on the slightest bit of sensory information.
Karl Citek, an optometrist and professor of Optometry at Pacific University, to shed some light on this dark hypothetical. So many of us concern ourselves with an excess of light in our lives, but what about the opposite? What might happen if you were to plunge yourself into total, unending darkness and never leave? We spoke with Dr. We are drawn to bright lights and big cities, even as they drown out the light from much, much larger celestial bodies burning and exploding far, far away. The dull glow of one last glance at your phone bathes us, even as we try to fall asleep.
We come home from work and summon it with the flick of a switch. We wake up every morning and it greets us through the windows. This week: What would happen if you were trapped in unending darkness? Each week, we look at something that you could do but probably never would, and take it to its logical endpoint. This is What Would Happen If, a close examination of mundane hypothetical situations.
