Vision Evaluation Using Contrast Sensitivity Functions

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of contrast sensitivity functions in assessing vision compared to traditional methods.
Reviewed clinical conditions utilizing contrast sensitivity functions
Discussed measurement and interpretation challenges of CSFs
Contrast sensitivity functions are theoretically superior to Snellen acuity
Challenges exist in their measurement and interpretation leading to limited use in practice

Abstract

The use of Contrast Sensitivity Functions (CSF's) in vision evaluation has been explored for several years. Although theoretically superior to Snellen acuity and similar measures, the use of CSF is not widespread. A review of some of the clinical conditions in which CSF's have been used is followed by a discussion of the problems involved in their measurement and interpretation.
