| Description | Uses - Establishing baseline contrast sensitivity prior to and after an intervention(such as cataract extraction, LASIK, or other refractive surgery)
- Identifying functional losses in low contrast perception (often associated with
| Designed as a simple screen test. The usual question for a reading test is: "What is the smallest (black) line you can read?" On the contrast card one adds the question "What is the smallest (grey) line you can read?" The difference between the two | Designed by: Dr. August Colenbrander Conventional, high-contrast letter chart acuity captures only one aspect of visual performance. Low contrast acuity is equally important for activities of daily living, since most everyday objects have less than | Contrast sensitivity vision test includes a legend card for easier recordings. Also, eye test features five levels of contrast for more precise diagnosis of contrast vision. Chart also uses Sloan optotypes that are highly reliable and repeatable. | This flip book is great for vision studies and research world wide. The Tumbling "E" vision chart uses only one optotype for testing. Patients not familiar with the Roman alphabet simply have to gesture or sign which direction they see the "E" facing |
