Glare

Excessive brightness or reflections from surfaces or light sources that cause visual discomfort, reduce visibility, or impair the ability to see clearly. Glare is a significant accessibility barrier for people with low vision and light sensitivity. In musical performance settings, glare can come from overhead stage lighting, backlit digital screens, glossy paper, and reflective music stands. Managing glare through matte screen protectors, adjustable brightness, anti-glare coatings, and thoughtful lighting design is an important aspect of visual accessibility.
