Glare is a visual experience, defined as difficulty or discomfort seeing in the presence of either bright or reflected natural (i.e. sunlight) or artificial (i.e. oncoming car headlights) light. Glare is a very common, but uncomfortable experience and can significantly impair one's ability to see, causing a temporary, and sometimes severe and functionally debilitating reduction of vision. Problems with glare are greater in older individuals, in individuals with a variety of ocular diseases, including cataracts, and after acquired brain injury. Glare is an important consideration when making decisions about medical or surgical management of ocular diseases, such as when to refer for cataract surgery. Eye-care practitioners and Canadians alike would benefit if glare could be measured clinically, as this measurement can improve clinical decision making and facilitate a greater individualised approach to care. Glare is not often measured clinically, because a simple, easy to use glare test does not exist and the current commercially available glare tests have limitations. Waterloo's Binocular Glare Sensitivity Test is a novel, simple and low-cost method, and system for measuring glare in a quick and efficient way that can be used by eye-care practitioners involved in direct patient care in areas of age-related vision loss and ocular disease, low vision, or concussion and stroke management. Waterloo's test addresses the limitations of existing technology because it can be used with both eyes open, is hands free, allows for measurements to be made while individuals wear their own glasses, and is suitable for individuals with normal and low vision. As part of this Market Assessment grant, the selected consultant (Adventus) will perform a thorough market analysis to identify the most suitable market opportunities along with technical, marketing and financial challenges associated with the application of the technology in a particular market segment. A favourable market assessment result will 1) formulate the commercialisation strategy and help attract early stage investments 2) form the basis for submitting a follow-on NSERC I2I Phase 1 project proposal.

眩光是一种视觉体验，被定义为在明亮或不明亮的光存在下观看困难或不适。 反射的自然光（即阳光）或人造光（即迎面而来的汽车前灯）。眩光是很常见的，但 不舒服的经历，可以显着损害一个人的能力，看到，造成暂时的，有时 严重的和功能性的视力下降。眩光问题在老年人中更严重， 患有包括白内障在内的各种眼部疾病和后天性脑损伤的个体。眩光是一种 在决定眼科疾病的内科或外科治疗时， 什么时候做白内障手术如果眩光能够被消除，那么眼科医生和加拿大人都会受益。 临床测量，因为这种测量可以改善临床决策，并促进更大的 个性化的护理方式。 眩光不经常在临床上测量，因为不存在简单、易于使用的眩光测试，并且目前的眩光测试方法是： 市售的眩光测试具有局限性。滑铁卢的双眼眩光敏感度测试是一本小说， 本发明提供了一种简单且低成本的方法和系统，用于以快速且有效的方式测量眩光， 在年龄相关性视力丧失和眼部疾病领域直接参与患者护理的眼科护理从业者， 视力或脑震荡和中风管理。滑铁卢的测试解决了现有技术的局限性 因为它可以在双眼睁开的情况下使用，是免提的，允许在进行测量的同时， 个人佩戴自己的眼镜，适合视力正常和低视力的个人。 作为这项市场评估赠款的一部分，选定的顾问（Adventus）将进行全面的市场评估， 分析，以确定最合适的市场机会，沿着技术，营销和财务 与该技术在特定细分市场的应用相关的挑战。有利的 市场评估结果将1）制定商业化战略，并帮助吸引早期 投资2）构成提交后续NSERC I2I第1阶段项目提案的基础。
