Abnormal Cambridge low-contrast grating sensitivity results associated with diabetic retinopathy as a potential screening tool.

چکیده
Contrast sensitivity is proposed as a potential screening tool for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy. A cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary referral university eye centre. A total of 80 diabetes patients were recruited and tests were performed on 154 eyes. Contrast sensitivity was checked using Cambridge low-contrast grating. Abnormal contrast sensitivity was observed in 27.1% of eyes with diabetic retinopathy, compared with 9.0% in unaffected eyes, a statistically significant difference. Cambridge low-contrast grating is a potential screening tool for early detection of diabetic retinopathy by non-ophthalmologists.

Contrast sensitivity in diabetic subjects with and without retinopathy.
SUMMARY The clinical usefulness of the Arden grating test in assessing early abnormalities in retinal function of diabetics has been explored. Although the test revealed significant differences in constrast sensitivities between diabetics and normal persons, the large variances in the test scores of diabetics limit its use as a clinical tool for the screening of diabetic patients. Diabetes is s...

How often hypopituitarism is responsible for postural hypotension is unclear, but pointers seen in our patients included low serum thyroxine concentrations without the expected raised thyroid stimulating hormone, hyponatraemia, and disproportionately pale facies. Visual evoked potential and contrast sensitivity ...

INTRODUCTION A national diabetic retinopathy screening program does not exist in Mexico as of 2017. Our objective was to develop a screening tool based on a predictive model for early detection of diabetic retinopathy in a low-income population. METHODS We analyzed biochemical, clinical, anthropometric, and sociodemographic information from 1,000 adults with diabetes in low-income communities...

The contrast sensitivities to sine-wave grating stimuli were measured for 36 observers with ages in the range 8 to 67 years. Thirty-one observers had normal, healthy vision while 4 were suffering from diabetic retinopathy and 1 had a early lens opacities and macular degeneration. The younger members of the group with normal vision were less sensitive to low spatial frequencies and the older mem...
