Brief Summary: The Spaeth-Richman Contrast Sensitivity SPARCS test is a new method of assessing contrast sensitivity The test another way to measure vision is performed on any standard computer with internet access Patients will be tested with SPARCS and with the standard Pelli-Robson contrast test
Detailed Description: Contrast Sensitivity is another way to test vision It uses black on a white background and minimally decreases the black grey until it blends with the white The least amount of contrast faint grey seen translates into amount of vision This new method of determining contrast sensitivity uses black and white vertical bars and does not require recognizing letters in the alphabet It tests various areas of the visual field and central vision The test takes approximately 3 minutes per eye

Pelli-Robson is a commonly used contrast sensitivity test that uses black letters on a white background The letter size stays the same only the amount of black changes becoming greyer making letters hard to see The test takes approximately 1 minute per eye

Hypothesis A method of determining contrast sensitivity that does not require letter recognition as does the Pelli-Robson test eliminates the barriers of literacy and pattern recognition to permit a more valid determination of contrast sensitivity

Patients will perform SPARCS and Pelli-Robson twice once each with two separate observers for reproducibility and intra-observer reliability The order of testing will be randomized to SPARCS Pelli Pelli SPARCS or Pelli SPARCS SPARCS Pelli
