  • Title: The use of computerized contrast sensitivity, Arden gratings and low contrast letter charts in the assessment of amblyopia.
    Author: Brown VA, Doran RM, Woodhouse JM.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Physiol Opt; 1987; 7(1):43-51. PubMed ID: 3658423.
    Abstract:
    Contrast sensitivity measured with an electronic display was compared with Arden gratings and low contrast letter charts in normal and amblyopic children and adults. The low contrast letter charts and the Arden gratings used in the conventional manner revealed no additional information over that obtained by conventional Snellen acuity. However, the interocular differences found with each plate of the Arden gratings compared favourably with the computerized CSF. With the addition of an extra plate to test at a higher spatial frequency, the Arden gratings would be a useful technique for monitoring amblyopia therapy.
