CONT

[L'éblouissement] c'est le trouble de la vue provoqué par l'éclat trop intense d'une source lumineuse. Ce peut être le fait des phares d'une voiture arrivant en sens inverse ou d'une voiture suiveuse se reflétant dans le rétroviseur, ou d'enseignes lumineuses trop brillantes. (...) L'âge allonge la période d'adaptation et de réadaptation après éblouissement. Il en est de même pour la fatigue, le jeûne, l'alcool, le tabac, le bruit.
