The modern work setting is tailored to productivity, health, satisfaction, and comfort. A recognized factor that reduces productivity in workplaces is discomfort glare. While perception of objects may not necessarily be impeded, discomfort glare affects the observer with experiences of discomfort, fatigue, and headaches.

Therefore, quantification of discomfort glare proves to be a challenging task.The modern work setting is tailored to productivity, health, satisfaction, and comfort.
