Contrast Sensitivity Differences between Proficient and Disabled Readers Using Colored Lenses.
Spafford, Carol S.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v28 n4 p240-52 Apr 1995
This study examined relationships among lens color, visual grating, visual detection task performance, and peripheral retinal brightness thresholds among four adults and four children with reading disabilities and age-matched controls. Subjects with reading disabilities displayed significantly lower contrast sensitivity when tested with sine-wave gratings, as well as higher brightness thresholds in the peripheral retina.
