Select findings relevant to lighting from key reviews

Author(s)	Year	Title	Select findings related to lighting
Derby et al.	1926	Further studies on the light sense in early glaucoma [85]	“It is our distinct impression that an examination of the light minimum… is of real value to us in making the diagnosis of early glaucoma”.
Marlow	1947	The field of vision in chronic glaucoma (a comparison of full with reduced illumination) [86]	“The evidence presented here permits the conclusion that reduction of illumination is more than sometimes useful and that it is of definite value in the discovery of incipient changes as well as in the amplification of known or suspected defects”.
Ramulu	2009	Glaucoma and disability: which tasks are affected, and at what stage of disease? [87]	“Difficulties related to lighting such as glare and difficulty adapting to different levels of light consistently ranked as the most frequent complaint… The lighting conditions under which tasks are performed may be even more important than the task itself”.
Medeiros et al.	2012	Driving Simulation as a Performance-based Test of Visual Impairment in Glaucoma [88]	“Increasingly challenging visual tasks on the [driving] simulator, under low-contrast, low-luminance conditions and performed under the pressure of time, could potentially reveal functional impairments that would not be detected by standard visual field assessment. This hypothesis remains to be investigated.”
Nassiri et al.	2013	National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire: Usefulness in Glaucoma [89]	“Contrast sensitivity, glare sensitivity, and dark adaptation are potential items that could be added to the [NEI-VFQ] questionnaire to make it more responsive to changes in vision-related QoL in patients with glaucoma”.
Wang et al.	2017	The impact of mild, moderate, and severe visual field loss in glaucoma on patients’ quality of life measured via the Glaucoma Quality of Life-15 Questionnaire: a meta-analysis [90]	“Glare and dark adaptation did not differ significantly between patients with mild and moderate visual field loss… glare and dark adaptation differed significantly between patients with moderate and severe glaucoma”.
Owsley et al.	2018	Vision and aging [91]	“Contrast sensitivity loss tends to be more severe in older adults who have one or more of the common eye chronic conditions of aging mentioned earlier. In glaucoma these losses are largely attributable to the loss of ganglion cells… There is also evidence suggesting that glaucoma impairs rod-mediated dark adaptation”.
