Letter charts were used to measure visual acuity and peak contrast sensitivity of the short wavelength sensitive (S cone)-pathway. The accommodative response was monitored retinoscopically. The mean visual acuity (0.92 logMAR) and spatial contrast threshold (8.7%) were comparable to values reported elsewhere, and variability was relatively low. Both S-pathway acuity and contrast sensitivity were selectively reduced in one patient with central serous retinopathy and in another with retinitis pigmentosa. These simple spatial tests offer an additional index of S-pathway integrity which will be useful for detection and evaluation of ocular disease.
