Iodinated contrast sensitivity in ERCP
The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000Iodine contrast media are detectable in the bloodstream after ERCP, and sensitivity reactions have been described. The risk is very small, and the phenomenon is therefore difficult to study. This review discusses the possible need for preventative strategies, and recommends that endoscopists consider the issue and define their own policies.

Myopia and contrast sensitivity function
Current Eye Research, 2001to measure the contrast sensitivity function of varying degrees of myopia with two types of optical correction (spectacle lens and contact lens).One hundred and five myopic eyes and twenty-eight emmetropic eyes were collected. The myopic group included 105 eyes corrected with spectacle lenses and 71 eyes of them corrected with contact lenses, too; all ...

Contrast sensitivity in Parkinson's disease
Neurology, 1986We studied contrast-sensitivity function in 39 patients with Parkinson's disease. Sixty-four percent of the patients showed contrast-sensitivity loss in one or both eyes. The abnormality was not related to the first symptom or the severity of disease.

The detection of small luminance differences between objects and their backgrounds is an important tool for navigating in the visual environment. Many visual system disorders cause patients to complain that their vision is cloudy or blurred, or that the borders of objects are blurred, even though they retain 20/20 Snellen acuity.

CONTRAST SENSITIVITY IN MONOCULAR GLAUCOMA
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1983The results of this selected group of glaucoma patients demonstrate that the effect of glaucoma on the contrast sensitivity can be assessed only after careful exclusion of all other causes for decrease in contrast sensitivity. Further development of methods is necessary.

Transient sensitization by a contrast flash
Vision Research, 1980Abstract A large, annular contrast-flash that raises thresholds for a test spot under some conditions can lower theresholds under other conditions. Incremental thresholds for a 2.5° test flash were measured upon a 10° adapting field. When an annulus, 2.5–9°, was flashed shortly before or shortly after presentation of the test spot, threshold was ...

The contrast sensitivity function is a normalised description of a system’s sensitivity to spatial frequencies in terms of the contrast required to perform some perceptual task. For detection tasks, the human C.S.F. peaks at around 3–5 cycles/deg and reaches zero at about 60 cycles/deg. See modulation transfer function .

Spatiotemporal separability in contrast sensitivity
Vision Research, 1994Contrast sensitivity functions were measured in two ways: by counterphase modulation; and by in-phase modulation, in which the luminance of every point of a spatial grating was sinusoidally modulated in phase with one another. Contrast sensitivity functions measured by counterphase modulated gratings show spatiotemporal interactions that represent ...

Effect of Ibuprofen on Contrast Sensitivity
Optometry and Vision Science, 1992Therapeutic doses of ibuprofen (2-4'-isobutylphenyl-propionic acid) have been shown to have many deleterious effects on the nervous system. However, visual disturbances have been reported in fewer than 1% of the patients taking recommended doses of ibuprofen.

Contrast sensitivity of optokinetic nystagmus
Vision Research, 1991To determine the threshold characteristics of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), contrast thresholds for involuntary OKN were measured for gratings of different spatial frequency to yield an OKN-contrast sensitivity function (OKN-CSF). The OKN-CSF resembled an inverted U-shaped function with temporal-to-nasal and nasal-to-temporal movement yielding similar ...
