Vector Vision CSV 1000 Contrast Sensitivity Tester
Contrast sensitivity refers to a person's ability to perceive low contrast images in real life, such as street signs on dark roads, flower pots in dimly lit garages, and the size of sidewalk steps at night. This test, unlike the traditional visual acuity test with the "Big E Chart" that only measures high contrast black-on-white letters, utilizes low contrast images to detect subtle changes in vision that may not be detected through visual acuity alone. Studies have shown that contrast sensitivity testing is beneficial for evaluating various types of patients, including those with:
- Diabetes
- Macular Degeneration
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Amblyopia
- Optic Nerve Disorders/Multiple Sclerosis
The contrast vision sensitivity is also useful for evaluating patients treated with:
- LASIK or other types of refractive surgery
- New Technology IOLs
- New technology contact lenses
