Visual comfort also directly effects our decision making in retail environment, our willingness to stay in particular environment, our efficiency at work, a child's concentration at school, quality of results produced at various tasks, the list goes on and on. However, it seems we have developed an immunity towards it, unless it is an extreme case like headlights of a car coming from the opposite direction or a bright light aimed directly at us. Whether or not glare from artificial light sources disturbs us or not (the degree may vary from person to person), it does have a subconscious effect on our minds which can manifest both physiologically and psychologically.
