The evaluation of the contrast sensitivity function presents much more sensitivity than the "standard" visual acuity measurements in alterations of ocular media transparency
This test measures the size of the glare halo resulting from intraocular light scatter in conditions similar to night driving.
The pupillometry records the pupil size under different levels of illumination.
"Measurement of pupil size in dim and room light is an important factor in counselling a candidate about night vision
and planning the appropriate laser vision correction strategy" (STEINERT et al, ASCRS, 2003)
This test allows an evaluation of the visual field when optical problems such as large refractive error, corneal oedema or early cataract are present.
