5.5.1.2. Twilight Vision Test For Twilight Vision test the environment shall be obscured with a backlight luminance of 1 or 2 lux. The test is conducted in binocular vision. After an adjustment to the environment light for ten minutes at most, proceed to evaluate the twilight visual acuity, starting from 0,1 line showed by the optotype.
5.5.1.3. Glare Sensitivity Test To conduct this test the additional lamps have to be NOTE! necessarily installed to the panel. The lamps are optional equipment and are provided separately – on request. Installation instructions are supplied with the lamps. In this test two lamps are situated both on the right and the left side of the chart panel.
5.5.1.4. Driving Contrast Sensitivity Test The test must be conducted in binocular vision, with bare eye or with correction in case of refractive vice. A line is considered read when two out three letters or three out five are correctly recognized. In case of subjects with lenses, affected by advanced preosbia a better correction with the addition of + 1.00 diopter might be needed.

Pic. 18. 100 HUE Test The patient is asked to arrange the dots so that the colours/hues go smoothly from the first pilot colour dot to the last (see Pic. 23. 100 HUE Test ). There is a predetermined sequence for each set. The closer the patient is to the correct sequence, the better his/her colour discrimination.
In this way the patient goes through 4 sets of colour dots. When the fourth set has been arranged, a message ‘Click here or Press OK to finish’ appears at the bottom of the screen. When the whole test has been completed, a diagram with the results is generated. Pic.
5.5.8. D15 Saturated and D15 Desaturated Tests The D15 Tests is widely used in industries where colour decisions are critical. In a quick, precise and easy way the test determines colour vision abnormalities and checks patient’s ability to make color discrimination. The test can also be used to determine eye diseases, diabetes, Parkinson's disease and the effects of various pharmaceuticals on colour vision.

There are many ways to teach this de-coupling to either yourself or to others, including (in almost no particular order): It is generally easier to see Stereograms under bright light NOTE ! because your eye relies less on focus under harsh conditions.
You can't see anything, what now ?? If you don't manage to see the amazing pictures hidden inside the autostereograms immediately, don't let it get you down. Your brain needs time to switch between 'NORMAL' vision to that of stereoscopic vision. Try not to force your eyes when focusing.

sizes, a contrast sensitivity test measures two variables, size and contrast. The ability to detect objects of different sizes at lower contrasts is expressed as a contrast sensitivity function (CSF). The test determines the person’s contrast detection threshold, the lowest contrast at which a pattern can be seen. Only standard letter tests combined with contrast sensitivity tests can provide the opticians with a complex knowledge about their patient’s visual condition.
