“…As such, the CSF shows promise not only as an auxiliary clinical test in screening patients with optic nerve compression, but also in monitoring treatment effects. Zimmern, Campbell and Wilkinson describe patients with a subjective disorder of vision and yet normal visual acuities (20/20) after optic neuritis [13]. We have similar experiences with patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy.…”

126 patients with multiple sclerosis and normal visual acuity were submitted to a battery of tests of visual function. The investigation included visual evoked potential, contrast sensitivity by three methods, and a segment of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test. 22 of the patients gave a history of unilateral acute optic neuritis and in these the abnormalities were greater in degree. Contrast sensitivity emerged as the most useful test and was abnormal in 92.2% of eyes. Visual evoked potential was delayed in 35.6% and colour vision was abnormal in less than a third. In general, contrast sensitivity was depressed at all frequencies and most of the abnormalities could be identified by testing at a single frequency of 4 cycles/degree.

“…Recently, contrast sensitivity function has been proposed as a valuable addition to the traditional psychophysical tests such as the vi sual acuity test or visual field examination, and it has been studied in glaucoma patients [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and other optic nerve disorders [9][10][11][12][13][14], A reduction in contrast sensitivity to gratings has been demonstrated in glaucoma and other op tic nerve disorders. But, it is very important that contrast sensitivity testing in glaucoma and other optic nerve disorders is valid only when other causes of decreased sensitivity, such as aging or subtle changes in the refrac tion, media and retina, are excluded [15].…”

Subjective contrast sensitivity for the stationary and horizontally drifting vertical stripe patterns was measured in normal subjects and in patients with glaucoma, optic neuritis and optic atrophy. Contrast sensitivity was aslo determined objectively using an eye movement reflex (optokinetic nystagmus) recorded by means of electro-oculography. The contrast sensitivity for the drifting stripe patterns in normal subjects was characterized by a depression of sensitivity at the high spatial frequency and an increased contrast sensitivity at the low spatial frequency in comparison with the results of stationary stripe patterns. The measurement of contrast sensitivity for the horizontally drifting vertical stripe patterns was found to be more sensitive for detection of minor damage to the optic nerve than that for the stationary patterns. The results of the subjective contrast sensitivity and the objective one determined using an eye movement reflex showed a good correlation.
