Effect of age on Arden grating acuity.
نویسنده
چکیده
Arden grating test scores were obtained for 100 normal subjects under standardised testing conditions. While previously published ranges of interocular conguity were corroborated, a significant increase in test scores with increasing age was noted. This effect of age has not been previously reported. Physiological considerations suggest that such age dependency might have been expected. It is suggested that ranges of normal values be established for each of several age groups.

Effect of age on Arden grating acuity HAROLD
Arden (1978) has developed a practical clinical test of contrast sensitivity, commercially available as Arden Gratings. This book of 6 test plates displays vertical bar gratings of different frequencies (cycles/ degree), increasing in sinusoidal contrast as one moves down each plate. The variations in grating frequencies and contrasts allow testing of several points along the modulation transfe...
متن کاملComparison of Snellen acuity, VER acuity, and Arden grating scores in macular and optic nerve diseases.
Patients with various macular and optic nerve abnormalities underwent Snellen acuity, transient VER acuity, and Arden grating testing. Snellen acuity was the coarsest of the 3 evaluations, generally falling after Arden scores and VER acuity had already undergone significant degradation. The Arden gratings appeared to be the most sensitive of the 3 tests, equalling VER performance in optic nerve...
متن کاملThe Arden grating acuity: effect of age and optical factors in the normal patient, with prediction of the false negative rate in screening for glaucoma.
The Arden contrast sensitivity was investigated in normal persons, cataract eyes, and glaucoma patients with only plates 6 and 7 of the Arden grating set. The mean score of 90 normal eyes on plate 6 was 9.50 +/- 2.29 and on plate 7 it was 9.44 +/- 2.32. The mean scores of patients with early cataract were 14.51 +/- 2.99 on plate 6 and 13.74 +/- 3.26 on plate 7. Several patients with cataract mi...
متن کاملGrating test of contrast sensitivity in patients with Minamata disease.
Thirty cases of Minamata disease caused by methyl mercury poisoning with the lesion mainly at the occipital cortex were selected and their spatial contrast sensitivity of vision was examined by the Arden grating chart. At the same time their visual acuity, visual field, and visual evoked cortical potential (VECP) were also investigated. In all cases the results of the Arden test indicated abnor...
متن کاملUtility of the Arden grating test in glaucoma screening: high false-positive rate in normals over 50 years of age.
The Arden grating test was administered to 64 subjects between 6 and 82 years of age without ocular pathology, to 20 glaucoma patients, and to 21 ocular hypertensives. The results show an age effect, with significantly higher scores (lower sensitivity) in normal subjects over 50 years of age. In addition, there was no significant difference in performance between age-matched normals, glaucoma p...
