Testing Light Eye Wear

Hi guys! This week we mostly were trying to figure out how to set up a video camera for taking images of people's pupil dilations, so there wasn't much going on. But I was able to try on lighted glasses of different colors so that they could test the new camera out! I wore glasses with white, blue, green, and red lights in a dark room and Brittany took photos of my pupils. My eyes hurt the worst when I was wearing the white light glasses, the light was just so bright! I have no idea how subjects of the studies can take it!!!! My pupils must have become pretty small because of the intensity of light but it was hard to see that in the photo that the new camera took. Here's a picture of my eye while wearing red lighted glasses though. My pupils are less dilated while wearing these glasses than while wearing the other glasses because the light is not as intense. These glasses were definitely most comfortable for my eyes. While wearing the red lighted glasses, a subject's melatonin levels will not suppress as greatly as they would while wearing white, blue, or green lighted glasses.
