... the Contrast Sensitivity Function. ABSTRACT A new method of assessing vision known as the Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) has emerged. It is important to measure the sensitivity of the visual system for humans and other animals as it offers information regarding individual visual function capabilities. Contrast Sensitivity testing complements and extends the assessment of visual function performed in traditional acuity tests. ... limitations prompt the expectation that the method will not be as accurate as previous methods. Practical applications include the changes in vision with a...
