  • Title: [Study of spatial function using the contrast sensitivity function. Cases of presbyopic subjects fitted with progressive glasses].
    Author: Monot A, Chiron A, Cottin F, Bourdy C.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1986; 9(3):199-209. PubMed ID: 3772031.
    Abstract:
    The spatial properties of the global visual system were measured on the basis of the contrast sensitivity function, in three presbyopic observers. Shape alterations of the contrast sensitivity curves were found depending on the experimental conditions: foveal vision, in far, intermediary and near vision, along central, 13 degrees nasal and 13 degrees temporal meridians (according to three parallels and three meridians), peripheral vision, in far and near vision, at 13 degrees and 26 degrees retinal eccentricities using the central or nasal part of the lens. The central meridian was found to be the most efficient part of the progressive lenses. These results strengthen the observations reported by ophthalmologists and progressive lens wearers.
