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 | Precision Vision offers a variety of Low Contrast and Mixed Contrast Eye Charts for testing Contrast Sensitivity. Notations for testing at Near Vision, 1 meter, 2 meters, 2.5 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters and Multi-distance. Products range from Flip | 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 | Each line on the Rabin Contrast Sensitivity Test is a lower contrast than the one before it, using Log CS steps. This progression in contrasts helps to identify the patient's contrast sensitivity. Furthermore, the test helps to detect subtle effects |
