| Description | This contrast sensitivity flip book includes a series of seven contrast levels for accurate and precise vision testing. This levels decrease throughout the test beginning with acuity, 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25% and ending with .06%. The use of several | 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 | 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 | Developed by Jeff Rabin, OD, PhD,US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine This Super Vision test includes visual acuity and letter contrast sensitivity (CS) on a single chart. The top portion of the chart tests for acuity vision while the bottom |
