Association of Contrast Sensitivity With Eye Disease and Vision-Related Quality of Life.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate contrast sensitivity (CS) as a screening tool to detect eye disease and assess its association with both eye disease and vision-related quality of life.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

Setting and population: Adults receiving care from a free clinic and a Federally Qualified Health Center in Michigan.

Main outcome measures

Screening positive for eye disease and Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ) score.

Observation

Participants received a vision exam reviewed via telemedicine for disease, completed a demographic survey, and the 9-item VFQ. The ability of CS to predict eye disease was explored and area under the curve (AUC) is reported. Logistic and linear regression were used to investigate the continuous effect of CS on the
