DVAT
Ability to distinguish the foreground from the background
Contrast Sensitivity
Measures ability to distinguish between finer and finer increments of light versus dark
Contrast sensitivity
Very important measure of visual function esp. in situations of low light, fog or glare, and when contrast is reduced
