Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before but what do you know about "Retinal Contrast" techniques in diagnosing mental states and conditions? So, in doing some research linking ADHD/ADD with my lifelong photophobia and low-light insensitivity (my night vision has always been crap, whilst bright flashes can set off migraines with aura), I came across this potential diagnostic tool at clearvieweye.net (see also: "New ADHD/Retina Research Supports a Cerebellar Origin" for more in depth analysis) I'm not sure if there's been any discernible further development on this yet, but I thought it was an interesting aside to the debate on people getting a proper AD(H)D diagnosis. Just a quick search revealed this study citing ADHDers and "healthy" control subjects, suggesting retinal contrast techniques could be used as a marker for diagnosing depression. The Retinal Contrast World is certainly something new to me.

The idea of involving the eyes in studying mental disorder looks interesting, will read about this Reminds me a little of EMDR which has been gathering a fair amount of success. Maybe the eyes are a window to our soul

Eyes absolutely fascinate me tbh. I might be a psychopath though

I've seen other tools before that looked at the eye movement of ADHD'ers and got decent predictive results. Good enough to help inform diagnosis anyway. None of these tools ever get used though.

i see really well at night and prefer low lights. other people usually moan that they can't see anything and i'm only just getting the sunglasses off.
only now i have to have reading glasses because of doing everything in twilight - been putting them off for a year - and the world will get too bright again.

That's the paradox for me: can't stand bright light, being highly photosensitive, which often sets off a migraine with aura that necessitates sunglasses on all but the gloomiest of days, or poor night vision where object discernment is simply poor. Useless really
