[Light sensitivity of the central and peripheral sections of the retina in exposure to noise].

Light sensitivity of the central and peripheral parts of the human retina has been studied in an hour exposure to broadband noise of 95 dBA intensity and in an after-effect period. The indices of time threshold of dark adaptation and the visual acuity restoration time at reduced brightness were analysed. Four types of response to acoustic stimulus have been revealed. Correlation between the initial levels of the indices and the character of changes of the functions studied has been established.
