| Description | Developed by Jeff Rabin, OD, PhD,US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine This Super Vision test includes visual acuity and letter contrast sensitivity (CS) on a single chart. The top portion of the chart tests for acuity vision while the bottom | Test Includes CAT. NO. 2126 Rabin Contrast Sensitivity Test CAT. NO. 2147 Glare Filter CAT. NO. 2148 Low Photopic Filter CAT. NO. 914 Small Illuminator Cabinet CAT. NO. 915 Adjustable Base | 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
| Patti Stripe paddles are highly useful for testing the contrast sensitivity of children, infants, and those with mental disabilities. The contrast sensitivity is tested by placing the gray paddle in front and the grated paddle behind and sliding it | Designed by DG Pelli, JG Robson and A J Wilkins, because they see contrast sensitivity as a realistic assessment of how well the patient sees large faint objects. The chart follows the luminance, font, and letter spacing recommendations of the |
| Features | - Super vision test is designed for use at 4 meters (13 feet, 1.5 inches)
- Notations are printed on the chart in LogMAR 0.2 to -0.6 on the top half of the chart
- On the bottom half notations are printed in LogCS with a letter size of 5M, 4/5, 13/16.5 (6/7.5, 20/25 equiv.)
- High contrast VA (20/32 to 20/5 log MAR scale; 20/5 is 4x smaller than 20/20)
- Used by branches of the US Armed Forces
| - A new contrast sensitivity test comparable to the small letter contrast test
- Detects subtle effects of defocus, low luminance and glare
- 20/50 letter size at 4 meters (13 ft.)
- Log CS increases 0.25 steps per row (0.05 log CS/ letter)
- Includes soft-tipped pointer, recording forms and test instructions
| - Three charts, for the left eye, right eye and binocular testing, or for repeated testing without letter sequence memorization
- Rapid administration, with easy, accurate scoring
- Easy to store and protect
- Easy to illuminate (e.g., with instrument stand lamp)
- Each chart mounted on durable plastic
- Designed for near testing (40 or 50 cm)
- Low cost
| - Patti Stripes consists of six gratings at 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8 and 9.6 CPCM (cycles per centimeter) along with the CPD (cycles per degree) for the three test distances of 25, 50, and 100 cm (10, 20 and 40 in.) printed on the handle.
- Set includes four paddles, three with gratings printed on both sides and one solid gray face for presentation.
- Extremely durable made from 4 mm plastic
- Can be washed with soap and water or cleaned with alcohol
- These will hold up to years of service
- Measures 17.8 X 32 cm (7 X 12.5 in.)
| - Features Traditional Sloan Optotypes
- For use at 40 in (1m)
- Includes two charts and two scoring pads
- Illumination of 85 cd/m² is key to good results
