CSV-1000®HGT Combines Glare and Contrast Sensitivity

The CSV-1000®HGT tests a combination of glare and contrast sensitivity providing the most accurate measure of vision loss for cataract patients and others with glare symptoms. It is ideal for patients who have better than 20/40 acuity but complain about the quality of their vision.

Universal Power Compatibility

The CSV-1000® includes a power supply compatible with all standard electrical systems worldwide.


Not everything in life is BLACK & WHITE. Vision assessment is no exception. Standardized contrast sensitivity testing is a must for any advanced eye care practice. Contrast sensitivity testing using the CSV-1000® allows you to identify and quantify subtle changes in vision that go undetected by acuity testing and other routine types of vision tests.
