| Abstract: | Contrast sensitivity function (CSF) was investigated in 19 patients (34 eyes) with clinical signs and symptoms of dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON). CSF was disturbed in 33 eyes and was shown to improve after orbital decompression. These results indicate that the CSF may be a useful supplementary test of visual function in patients with DON.Abbreviations CSF contrast sensitivity function - DON dysthyroid optic neuropathy - RE right eye - LE left eye - c circles - deg degrees This study was presented at the annual meeting of the Dutch Ophthalmological Society, Dronten, 13–16 February 1990. |
