Abstract
Contrast sensitivity function was measured by a computer automated met hod on 38 eyes with dysthyroid optic neuropathy and 34 eyes with Grave s' ophthalmopathy only. The results were compared with 74 healthy cont rol eyes. Disturbances of contrast sensitivity functions were found in both groups when compared with controls. The eyes affected with dysth yroid optic neuropathy showed pronounced loss of contrast sensitivity in the low frequency range, which facilitates differentiation between the two groups.
