title: Contrast sensitivity vision testing: new screening technology for family physicians.
abstract: Contrast sensitivity vision testing is the new technology in visual screening. Easy to administer and quick to perform, contrast sensitivity vision testing appears to be cost-effective for use by family physicians. It is a more sensitive indicator of ocular disease than traditional Snellen acuity testing and may detect ocular pathology at an early stage when Snellen acuity is still normal.
