    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Everyone has experienced visual discomfort of some kind or another. Visual stimuli which cause discomfort exist in a variety of everyday situations, from eye strain induced by VDU screens to garish carpets. Dr Wilkins has produced a unified theory of the mechanisms underlying visual discomfort, which has a number of applications including the treatment of epilepsy and the design of glasses.

    Long description:

    This book provides the first general and unified theory of visual discomfort. The theory is based on the observation that people find certain visual stimuli uncomfortable, and that these same stimule induce seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. The theory is applied to a variety of everyday problems such as eye strain from reading, lighting, television and VDU terminals, and more generally from design. A variety of techniques for preventing and treating visual discomfort are described.

    a welcome addition to the existing literature
