| Description | 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 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 | 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 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 | 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. |
