Abstract

Increasing numbers of corneal transplants for visual rehabilitation are being performed throughout the world. The adequacy of visual function in these patients has been assessed only in terms of visual acuity measurement, yet non-acuity parameters such as contrast sensitivity may be important indices of the adequacy of visual performance in these patients for a variety of real-world conditions. Contrast sensitivity may therefore provide a more sensitive clinical indicator of visual function of these patients within the limits of visual resolution.
