Abstract:

The performance of various tasks of importance to the Marines was compared when the subjects were wearing different goggles designed to protect the eyes from the cold. Color perception through yellow goggles and riflery through the most distorted goggles were degraded, but there were no significant impairments in acuity, depth perception, or vision through binoculars. The optical standards adhered to in the manufacture of commercial goggles appears to permit the satisfactory performance of practical tasks.
