Káprázás

Káprázás is a Hungarian term that describes a visual phenomenon characterized by dazzling, flickering, or shimmering light. It often implies a sudden and intense brightness that can be disorienting or overwhelming to the eyes. The word is derived from the verb "káprázni," which means to dazzle or shimmer.

This phenomenon can occur in various natural and artificial contexts. For example, sunlight reflecting off water or snow can cause káprázás. Intense artificial lights, such as those from stage lighting or powerful searchlights, can also induce this effect. In some instances, káprázás can be a symptom of certain medical conditions affecting vision, such as migraines or ocular disturbances.

The experience of káprázás is subjective and can range from a mild annoyance to a significant visual impairment for a short period. It is often associated with a temporary loss of visual clarity due to the intensity of the light. The term is not typically used in a scientific or technical context but rather in everyday language to describe a common visual sensation. Understanding káprázás involves recognizing its presence and its potential causes, whether they are environmental or physiological.
