MEANS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING LOW CONTRAST VISION

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of diagnostics. Specifically, it relates to a method for assessing contrast vision capabilities in a subject comprising the steps of determining at least one contrast vision parameter from a dataset of measurements of non-cognitive contrast vision capabilities from said subject, comparing the determined at least one contrast vision parameter to a reference, and assessing the contrast vision capabilities of the subject based on said comparison. The present invention also relates to a method of assessing multiple sclerosis (MS) in a subject comprising assessing contrast vision capabilities according to the method of the invention and the further step of assessing MS based on the contrast vision capabilities of the subject. Yet, the invention contemplates a device and a system for carrying out the aforementioned methods and the use of such device or system for assessing contrast vision capabilities or MS in the subject.
