TLDR
Investigation of contrast sensitivity and glare sensitivity using Pelli-Robson and Bailey-Lovie charts in normal and diabetic patients with a range of degrees of ischaemic retinopathy found glare sensitivity was found to be greater in those diabetic patients who had received laser treatment.About:

Vision and falls.
Alex A. Black,Joanne M. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence from the current literature indicates that impairment of visual functions, such as visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual fields and depth perception, is associated with an increased risk of falls as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Letter contrast sensitivity changes in early diabetic retinopathy.
TL;DR: In this article, the discriminative ability of letter contrast sensitivity (CS) and visual acuity (VA) in detecting functional losses in participants with type 2 diabetes was investigated, where the diabetic participants were sub-grouped according to the level of retinopathy present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocular manifestations of diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: A review of the current literature shows that the emphasis has changed from the laser and surgical management of pre-existent retinopathy to the development of cohesive multidisciplinary screening and education programs, and to a better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocular disease and driving
Joanne M. Wood,Alex A. Black +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarises current research regarding the impact of common ocular diseases on driving ability and safety, with particular focus on cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, hemianopia and diabetic retinopathy.

Constantine D. Georgakopoulos,Maria I Eliopoulou,A. Exarchou,Vasileios Tzimis,Nikolaos Pharmakakis,Bessie E Spiliotis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated contrast sensitivity in children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus without evidence of diabetic retinopathy using the CSV-1000 device (Vector Vision, Dayton, OH) for four spatial frequencies and were compared with v scores of 45 age-matched and gender-matched healthy patients.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.
Journal Article
The design of a new letter chart for measuring contrast sensitivity
TL;DR: It is concluded that, for a clinical test, letters are more suitable than gratings, and a mathematical model of the observer and the chart-testing procedure has been used to predict how the accuracy and repeatability of the test score depend on the parameters of the chart and observer.

New design principles for visual acuity letter charts.
Ian Bailey,Jan E. Lovie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced new principles for the design and use of letter charts for the measurement of visual acuity, and advocated that the test task should be essentially the same at each size level on the chart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macular edema. A complication of diabetic retinopathy.
TL;DR: The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study hopefully will provide more definitive information as to whether photocoagulation is effective in various subgroups of patients with diabetic macular edema.

Modified grid laser photocoagulation for diffuse diabetic macular edema. Long-term visual results.
Carol M. M.D. Lee,R. Joseph Olk +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the records of 302 eyes of 185 patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema treated with modified grid laser photocoagulation between the years 1981 and 1990 and found that visual acuity was improved in 14.5%, unchanged in 60.9%, and worse in 24.6% of eyes.
