Evaluating Contrast Sensitivity in Early and Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration With the Quick Contrast Sensitivity Function.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to describe, validate, and compare the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) acquired with the novel quick CSF (qCSF) method from patients with early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (eAMD and iAMD) and healthy controls.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional analysis of contrast sensitivity (CS) and visual acuity (VA) baseline data from the prospective Multimodal Functional and Structural Visual System Characterization (MUMOVI) study. The qCSF testing was conducted with the manifold contrast vision meter (Adaptive Sensory Technology, San Diego, CA, USA). CS levels at spatial frequencies from 1 cycle per degree (CPD) to 18 CPD, the area underneath the logarithmic contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF), and contrast acuity (CA
