Abstract

A study has been carried out to evaluate the sensitivity and reliability of the Small Letter Contrast Test (SLCT) in comparison to standard vision tests. The SLCT was evaluated in 16 subjects under various conditions to determine test sensitivity and reliability, and in patients with clinical conditions. Scores were compared to those obtained with standard tests of VA (Bailey-Lovie) and CS (Pelli-Robson) Basing from the results, it is concluded that the SCLT is a sensitive, adjunctive test, which complements existing measures of VA. It can reveal subtle visual deficits that may be undetected by standard clinical techniques.
