TL;DR
This hope has been fulfilled, and the course of rhodopsin regeneration was measured in the normal eye, and was found to develop according to a monomolecular reaction with time of half regeneration 4 or 5 min, and it was seen that after substantial bleaching all vision appears to be cone vision and rod thresholds ascend upon a curve of conjecture somewhere in the space above the horizontal cone branch.

It would be of interest to know how field size affects the relation between the foveal and extra-foveal thresholds, and whether it has any effect on the rate of darkadaptation.

It is well recognized that measurements of visual function at different levels of illumination generally fall into two categories, a low intensity scotopic portion and a high intensity photopic portion, and in the time course of dark-adaptation, in the curves where log.

Improvements were added to the standard Goldmann-Weekers adaptometer, which is the most commonly used modern adaptometer for clinical studies, and includes an arrangement for uniform preadaptation and a self-recording system.

In light-adapted man and cone-blind woman there is an initial phase of very slow recovery of the b-wave of the electroretinogram in the dark, followed by a faster rise, as does regeneration of rhodopsin.

The course of the change of the visual threshold was measured during adaptation from a high-luminance level to various lower luminance levels and to darkness and all curves approach their asymptotic values smoothly and gradually.
