摘要: The ability to distinguish contrast plays an important role in patients' everyday vision. Contrast sensitivity testing can identify many ocular diseases. Testing the peak of function provides a useful clinical adjunct standard visual acuity assessments. This article reviews basics sensitivity. It also describes currently available tests and compares their reliability, advantages, disadvantages. Financial Disclosure Drs. Spaeth Richman have developed patented test titled Spaeth/Richman Sensitivity test. Dr. Wirostko has no financial or proprietary interest any material method mentioned.
