Significance: The Ohio Contrast Cards are a repeatable test of contrast sensitivity, and they reveal higher contrast sensitivity for low-vision patients than is shown by the Pelli-Robson chart.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the contrast sensitivity results and test/retest ±limits of agreement for the Ohio Contrast Cards and the Pelli-Robson letter contrast sensitivity chart on two challenging groups of participants, and to compare the Ohio Contrast Card results with grating acuity and the Pelli-Robson results with letter acuity.
Methods: The Ohio Contrast Card and Pelli-Robson tests were each performed twice by two different examiners within one visit on 40 elder patients in Primary Vision Care (>65 years old) and 23 to 27 low-vision school-aged students.
Significance: Delivering personalized three-dimensional (3D)-printed solutions for our patients is easier now than it has ever been. This technological revolution makes things possible that it would be extremely challenging to achieve using traditional approaches.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to increase awareness among the optometric and vision science community of opportunities to apply 3D printing to enhance clinical practice and research.
Significance: This report describes the first clinical use of the Ohio Contrast Cards, a new test that measures the maximum spatial contrast sensitivity of low-vision patients who cannot recognize and identify optotypes and for whom the spatial frequency of maximum contrast sensitivity is unknown.
Purpose: To compare measurements of the Ohio Contrast Cards to measurements of three other vision tests and a vision-related quality-of-life questionnaire obtained on partially sighted students at Ohio State School for the Blind.
Methods: The Ohio Contrast Cards show printed square-wave gratings at very low spatial frequency (0.
