After a monocular effect of a short-term intensive light stimulation (of 80 mksec in duration with illuminance of 1600 cdl. sec) which followed complete dark adaptation, test subjects showed disorders in color perception. They included lowered decrease in the acuity of color discrimination measured in the AN-59 anomaloscope and significant distortion of the subjective evaluation of different color stimuli. The spectrum of an experimental intensive light effect was varied; it was thus shown that disorders in the color perception were associated with a nonuniform decrease of the sensitivity of color perceiving systems of the optic analyzer. The pattern and duration of these disturbances depended on the spectral composition and intensity of the light stimulus.
