Reduced contrast sensitivity |
Synonym: |
Abnormal contrast sensitivity |
Definition: |
An abnormality in perception of contrast. Spatial contrast is a physical dimension referring to the light-dark transition of a border or an edge in an image that delineates the existence of a pattern or an object. Contrast sensitivity refers to a measure of how much contrast a person requires to see a target. Contrast-sensitivity measurements differ from acuity measurements; acuity is a measure of the spatial-resolving ability of the visual system under conditions of very high contrast, whereas contrast sensitivity is a measure of the threshold contrast for seeing a target. |
