| 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 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. |
