<strong>ARVO</strong> 2013 Annual Meeting Abstracts by Scientific Section/Group – <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Psychophysics</strong> / <strong>Physiological</strong> <strong>Optics</strong>(sensitivity=2). It has been demonstrated that CSF acuity estimatescorrelate well with logMAR acuity (Lesmes LA, et al. IOVS2012;52:<strong>ARVO</strong> E-Abstract 4358).Because acuity is an important criterion for choosing opticalcorrection, we investigated how dioptric blur affects CSF acuityestimates obtained with the quick CSF, implemented on an iPad forconvenience.Methods: Six observers (21-46 yrs old; mean 27.5) were tested at aviewing distance of 40cm. Tests were run at self-reported correctionand additional blur conditions (+1,+2,+3,+4D). Gratings of differentfrequencies (.29-18.5cpd) and contrasts (.2-100%) were presented for250ms at 3.4deg either left or right of fixation (spatial 2AFC) andsubjects used the touch screen to respond. Each test (120 trials) lasted3-4 min. To estimate repeatability, all conditions were run again thefollowing day.Results: As expected, dioptric blur primarily affected the CSF's highfrequencyregion, and not its peak height (Fig 1). When normalizedto the lens condition with maximum acuity, CSF acuities exhibited asharp decrease across lens conditions that was not demonstrated bypeak sensitivity (Fig 2). Although contrast thresholds measured ondigital displays often exhibit ceiling effects, we reliably obtainedpeak thresholds
