Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the relative performance of different methods to measure the human spectral contrast sensitivity function (CSF).

Detailed Description

The human spectral contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is a better way to estimate human vision than letter charts commonly used by ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians.

The current methods used to measure the CSF are often unreliable, due to high variability between measurements. This study will compare four (4) new tests with two (2) currently used standard tests. The contrast sensitivity function will be measured using all of the six (6) methods three times (3) in each of the two (2) eyes at two (2) occasions. Each subjects CSF will be measured 6x3x2x2 = 72 times.

In addition, for each of the CSF measurements, the time used to measure the CSF and number of background variables for the subjects will be recorded.

After informed consent is obtained, the subjects will undergo a visual examination. If they match the inclusion criteria they will be included. At that time or at their earliest possible convenience, their CSF will be measured using the six methods and some background information will be recorded.

The follow-up measurement occasion will occur between 4 to 6 weeks (28 to 42 days) after the first.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Average area under the curve for the log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) in one eye for each method

Time Frame: At end of data collection (up to 12 months after first subject is included)

The area-under-curve of the LCSF, calculated from the measured CSF.

Average time (in seconds) used to measure the contrast sensitivity function for one eye for each method

Time Frame: At end of data collection (up to 12 months after first subject is included)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Sources of variability of the average area under the curve for the log contrast sensitivity function [AULCSF squared](At end of data collection (up to 12 months after first subject is included))
  • Sources of variability of the average time used to measure the contrast sensitivity function [seconds squared](At end of data collection (up to 12 months after first subject is included))
