Purpose: The present study aimed to analyse the influence of absorptive tinted filter lenses on Contras Sensitivity (CS) in healthy participants under three different environmental conditions. Methods: 10 Healthy qualified volunteers who fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria were recruited: refractive spherical error between +2.00 and -4.00D, refractive cylindrical error less than 1.00 D, Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) ≥ 1.0 and Low Vision Quality of Life (LVQOF) score ≥ 50. Participants were scheduled for three-session under different environmental conditions where CS was measured with a Pelli-Robson chart with and without five (ML Filters 450, 500, 511, 527 and 550) absorptive tinted filters lenses: 1) indoor, 2) outdoor on a sunny day, 3) outdoor on a rainy day. The filters were always introduced in the same order, from the higher absorption filter (ML Filter 550) to the lower (ML Filter 450). Results between filters and environmental conditions were compared. Results: There was a statistical difference in the CS values obtained with and without a filter in the measurements performed in all environmental conditions (Friedman test: all p < 0.001) with no differences in the pairwise analysis between filters (Wilcoxon test; all ≥ 0.009). There was no statistically difference in the CS values between environmental conditions without filters or with any of the filters (Friedman test: all p ≥ 0.097). Conclusions: The present study found that coloured filter lenses between 450 and 550 nm wavelength absorption had minimal impact on CS in healthy participants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
