Max altitude for visual recovery guidelines?

Most of what I posted is from a guy named Blackwell. He did a LOT of human visibility work during WWII, and had these elaborate experiments and rooms full of women as test subjects (the men were off at war). He is like the godfather of vision, and is often quoted by astronomy, visibility studies, my own work with light pollution, and several other fields- now including rocketry! Great experimental science.

I thought women, in general, had better vision than men.
Or a least my wife said she read, they have more sensitive vision to bright lights at night.
She always coplains, how bright brake lights at night are.

Men have twice the number of rod cells in their retina than women providing better low light vision. Women on the other hand have more than double the number of cone cells than men providing far better color vision. I read that men can see and differentiate around 10,000 shades of color whereas women can differentiate more than 32,000.

Women do not see more colors, they just have a lot more names for them. 😆
