Vector Vision CSV 1000 Contrast Sensitivity Tester - Certified

The CSV 1000 Contrast Sensitivity Tester revolutionizes vision assessment by measuring what traditional "Big E" charts miss—your ability to see in real-world low contrast situations. This globally recognized instrument creates precise sensitivity curves using sine-wave gratings across multiple spatial frequencies, making it invaluable for evaluating cataract patients, monitoring disease progression, and assessing refractive surgery outcomes. Essential for detecting subtle vision changes in patients with diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and brain injuries, it's also crucial for evaluating LASIK results and advanced lens technologies. Recommended for high-performance professionals whose lives depend on optimal vision: pilots, athletes, first responders, and law enforcement officers.

The CSV 1000 is commonly used in:

• Ophthalmology and optometry clinics for vision assessments.
• Cataract evaluations to determine functional acuity.
• Refractive surgery screenings to assess contrast sensitivity.
• Research studies for standardized vision testing.
• Glaucoma and macular degeneration monitoring.
