title: Binocular contrast sensitivity testing for low vision patients.
abstract: Contrast sensitivity testing is often included in primary care and low vision examinations. This test is designed to provide information regarding the quality of a patient's vision. This clinical study provides a method to assess the binocularity of a low vision patient with contrast sensitivity testing. The method allows the practitioner to determine if monocular or binocular conditions are optimal for the use of a near low-vision device.
