Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Optometry
Medical Devices

Background:

Contrast sensitivity (CS) evaluation is crucial for diagnosing and managing eye conditions.
Traditional Pelli-Robson (PR) charts have limitations, necessitating innovative solutions.
Early detection of vision deterioration requires reliable CS assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel digital device for CS evaluation.
To assess CS across a range of visual acuities (VA).
To facilitate early detection of declining vision.

Main Methods:

A digital CS chart (DCSC) was developed using Debian software, displaying letters from 6/60 to 6/6 VA with varying contrast.
The DCSC was validated against the Pelli-Robson (PR) chart.
Data from 56 participants were analyzed using SPSS, employing Pearson's correlation test.

Main Results:

The DCSC was successfully constructed and demonstrated varying VA.
Mean CS values were 1.84 ± 0.13 logCS for PR and 2.09 ± 0.14 logCS for DCSC.
A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.489, P = 0) was found between the DCSC and PR charts.

Conclusions:

The newly developed digital CS chart is efficient for clinical use.
The DCSC exhibits good repeatability for CS examination.
This digital tool can aid in the early detection and monitoring of ocular diseases.
