-Glare - is defined as the effect of

brightness in the field of vision
which causes annoyance or discomfort, or
in worse cases,
interferes with seeing. When the glare is
caused by light sources in the field of
vision, it is known as “direct glare” or
“disability glare”.
When glare is caused by the reflection of a
light source in a viewed surface, it is
known as “reflected glare” or “discomfort
glare”.
