Test your patient’s contrast sensitivity accurately achieving standardized outcomes with built-in screen luminance calibrator. Automated test strategies, simplify administration. Test contrast under different lighting conditions with patient real time luminance reader, and have all results plotted onto a graphical report for easy comparison.
The software uses datacolor’s spyder calibration device to calibrate your monitor to 85cd/m2. This insures that your results for a patient from visit to visit are the same, even if the tests are conducted in a different exam room, at different seasonal temperatures, and even different times of the day.

The general approach is to start with the quicker method of testing with letters, and if a deficiency is found with this test, then a more comprehensive test is performed with sine-gratings (spatial frequency).
The test starts by first estimating thresholds with large jumps in contrast levels, and then proceeds to a precision refinement with small increments. This prevents doctor and patient fatigue, as this test can take time to complete.
Since the sine-gratings test can be complicated to administer, as the lower levels of contrast may even be hard for the doctor to determine, Chart2020® has built a mini repeater screen with a private iconic-answer mode for the doctors convenience to mark the patients’ responses.
A report sample is shown below which includes a graphical and tabulated report, and has a customizable age based overlay for normative comparisons.
The test is also suitable to be used in
- Pre-testing exam rooms
- Clinical trial studies
- Ophthalmic hospital units
- Self-service vision booths
