Contrast sensitivity thresholds were measured over a range of spatial and temporal frequencies in both a group of young and older observers. Results demonstrate a significant reduction in contrast sensitivity of the older age group at all but the lowest combinations of spatial and temporal frequencies investigated. The senile miosis and reduced optical transmission of the older eye was then mimicked using the younger observers as subjects. This combined effect of reducing retinal illumination produced no significant change in sensitivity. These findings are discussed in terms of neural loss within the visual pathways with increasing age.
