    As someone who is almost as blind as barry, trust me ... it's a whole lot easier to see during the day under normal sunlight, than it is to see at night under "artificial" sunlight. If you have perfect vision, try squinting your eyes a little while looking at the lights. The "light beams" are blinding.

    As I've said before, I have to wear a hat at the night games to keep the lights out of my eyes. They are more powerful than people think.

    Maybe Blind Barry can borrow my hat ... but not the one Spida signed.
    I agree, that artificial lights are so bright these days one can't look too long at them. I can't even stand the new gen power saving ones at home. Thinking of stocking up on the incandescents before the carbon-nazis ban them. On a related note there was some use and discussion of those yellow tinted lenses by cricketers (possibly Oakleys?) which took out the blue light spectrum. Apparently it is like looking at a black & white monitor or viewfinder as opposed to a colour one. One "sees" more detail as it were, without the busy-ness of full colour.
    Good men do good deeds. Evil men do evil deeds. But it takes religion for a good man to do evil deeds.

      Fair enough, it sounds that it is actually easier to see during the sunny day.
      The only times I have trouble with my eyesight is when I am blind
      So now we've established that it can be more difficult to see under lights, we'll have to see if it continues to be an issue for Hall.
      The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
