Visual comfort refers to the quality of visual experience in a space, ensuring that lighting levels, glare, and contrast are balanced to reduce eye strain and fatigue. It involves providing sufficient, well-distributed illumination that allows tasks to be performed comfortably without discomfort or difficulty. Factors affecting visual comfort include the brightness and location of light sources, the presence of reflective surfaces, and the harmony of light levels across a space. When achieved, visual comfort creates an environment that feels natural and pleasant, enhancing productivity and well-being.
