We found increased straylight and an important deterioration in visual performance, assessed by means of visual acuity, contrast threshold, and visual discrimination capacity. Bangerter foils induced forward scattering levels comparable to those observed in mature to severe cataracts, with an important impact of halos and starbursts. Fog filters induced lower levels of intraocular scattering, although luminous veils and circular halos were reported. The visual disturbance index positively correlated with intraocular scattering and straylight. Our results show retinal-image quality has an important influence on night-vision performance.}, organization = {Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad 10.13039/501100003329 (FIS2017-85058-R)}, publisher = {Optica Publishing Group}, keywords = {Visual performance}, keywords = {Retinal image quality}, keywords = {Cataract}, keywords = {Bangerter foils}, title = {Visual performance after the deterioration of retinal image quality: induced forward scattering using Bangerter foils and fog filters}, doi = {10.1364/BOE.424715}, author = {Castro Torres, José Juan and Martino, Francesco and Casares López, Miriam and Ortiz Peregrina, Sonia and Ortiz Herrera, Carolina}, }
