title: Measuring contrast sensitivity with gratings: A new simple technique for the early diagnosis of retinal and neurological disease.
abstract: The measurement of contrast sensitivity using gratings is a new clinical procedure which yields information about the functioning of the visual system. Previously, this type of information has not been readily obtainable in the clinical environment. This article includes the basic concepts of measuring contrast sensitivity with gratings and preliminary clinical results.
