Luminance contrast with clear and yellow-tinted intraocular lenses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether yellow-tinted intraocular lenses (IOLs) negatively affect luminance contrast in postoperative cataract patients. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Sir Mortimer B. Davis Jewish General Hospital, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. METHODS: Luminance contrast was measured using the minimum-motion technique. The stimulus consisted of blue and red sinusoidal gratings differing in luminance. Patients had implantation of a clear or yellow-tinted IOL and were tested monocularly 2 to 9 weeks after cataract surgery. No patient had concomitant ocular diseases or congenital color defects, assessed by their ophthalmologist, or flicker-sensitive epilepsy. All patients had a visual acuity of 20/40 or better a mean of 4 weeks+/-2 (SD) postoperatively. RESULTS: Patients ranged in age from 55 to 89 years. An independent-samples Student t test showed that patients with a yellow-tinted IOL had significantly lower luminance contrast values than patients with a clear IOL (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that yellow-tinted IOLs affect the perception of luminance under photopic conditions. More blue light was required to make luminance judgments with a yellow-tinted IOL than with a clear IOL. Further study of the functional impact of luminance reduction by yellow-tinted IOLs is warranted.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
