GLARE TESTS

CSV-1OOOHGT (Halogen Glare Test)
The CSV- lOOOHGT instrument provides standardized glare testing. It can be used with any of the VectorVision test faces for the evaluation of glare disability. For cataract documentation, the Halogen Glare Test is precisely calibrated to simulate two on-coming halogen car headlights as seen at night from 150 feet. The glare level can be adjusted to simulate other glare conditions, as may be warranted for testing athletes or others who complain of glare.

The CSV-1OOOHGT has many advantages over other glare testing devices. The test can easily be administered from the examination chair while the patient simply looks at the instrument.

There is no need for the patient to hold the device or to look into an instrument. Also, the CSV-1OOOHGT is the only glare disability test instrument which allows easy testing through the phoropter or while the patient is wearing trial lenses. Other tests cannot be used in this way. The CSV- lOOOHGT provides an excellent education tool for the relatives and friends of the cataract patients. The relative can view the test at the same time as the patient and directly visualize the true functional loss experienced by the patient. It is a very powerful examination tool.

For sports vision evaluation, the CSV-1OOOHGT is useful for evaluating the effectiveness of various sun glasses for the athlete.

ETDRS, glare testing and contrast sensitivity testing are standardized by the VectorVision CSV-1000 with patented auto-calibration technology.
