this study aimed to assess changes in contrast sensitivity and aberrations in cases of myopia greater than 5.0 diopter (d) who had photorefractive keratectomy (prk). in this semi-experimental study, 20 eyes of ten patients were studied. inclusion criteria were at least 5.0 d of myopia, stable refraction in the past year, no history of refractive surgery, a minimum corneal thickness of 480 μm, a...

purpose: to evaluate visual function in patients with different types of light-filtering intraocular lenses (iols) methods: in this prospective comparative clinical study cataract patients with different types of iols in khatam-al-anbia eye hospital, mashhad were enrolled and followed for three months postoperatively. corrected distance visual acuity (cdva), color discrimination under photopic ...

Contrast sensitivity is strongly associated with daily functioning among older adults, but the genetic and environmental contributions to this ability are unknown. Using the classical twin method, we addressed this issue by examining contrast sensitivity at five spatial frequencies (1.5-18 cycles per degree) in 718 middle-aged male twins from the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging (VETSA). Heritab...

Monocular and binocular contrast sensitivity function for a range of spatial frequencies was measured in two groups of subjects with normal vision. Statistically significant differences in performance between the younger group (age 20-30 years) and the older group (age 50-87 years) were found at all spatial frequencies sampled between 0.40 and 19 X 25 cpd. In the age range 50-87 years there was...

Human infants' contrast thresholds for rectangular wave gratings differing in duty cycle were measured. The forced-choice preferential looking technique was used to estimate thresholds in fifteen 8- to 10-week old infants. The results indicated that contrast threshold varied systematically with duty cycle. Our findings were consistent with the predictions of a linear, multiple channel model and...

found that attention caused an increase in V4 neurons’ contrast sensitivity, as reflected in a leftward shift of the contrast–

purpose : to investigate the discriminative ability of contrast sensitivity (cs), color vision and best corrected visual acuity (bcva) in detecting functional losses in diabetic participants with and without retinopathy methods : in this cross sectional study we examined 105 patients in khatam-al-anbia eye hospital of mashhad university of medical sciences including 70 diabetic patients (35 wit...
