Contrast Sensitivity

Addressing vision impairments, including reduced contrast sensitivity and visual acuity, may have a significant effect on dementia prevalence, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.

NEW ORLEANS — Age-related decline in contrast sensitivity may contribute to reduced visibility of obstacles and increased susceptibility to falls, according to research presented at Academy ’23.

SAN ANTONIO — Patients with a history of delayed hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast media exhibited a broad cross-reactivity pattern, according to data presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Meeting.

Furosemide-induced high urine output with matched hydration vs. conventional IV hydration in PCI.

Compared with conventional IV hydration, furosemide-induced high urine output with matched hydration did not reduce risk for contrast-induced nephropathy in adults with chronic kidney disease undergoing complex CV interventions, data show.

By combining dose-reduction strategies, investigators found IV contrast use for CT scans could be reduced by approximately 80%.

DENVER – Results with a contrast sensitivity application on the Heru augmented reality headset showed good agreement with the Pelli-Robson chart, according to a study presented here at ARVO.

DENVER — Playing stereoscopic 3D video games could improve stereoacuity and potentially benefit patients with amblyopia, according to a study presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.

An internet-based contrast sensitivity measurement tool can help patients self-monitor vision at home, alerting them and their doctor when a visit is needed.

The Artis Symbiose IOL provides sharp, continuous vision at all distances with fast adaptation, according to one specialist.
