A loss of contrast sensitivity was noted in patients with inciplent cataracts and also in artephakias. As all these patients displayed normal visual acuity (6/6-6/9), our data suggest that the use of high-contrast optotypes is insufficient. Low-contrast optotypes are recommended for testing visual acuity in the above mentioned groups of patients.
