New Pediatric Near Contrast Test 
Track Ocular Pathologies with Near Contrast Test
ALBUQUERQUE, NM - The new Pediatric Near Contrast Test from Richmond Products provides a quick, effective and convenient way to detect and track occular pathologies in children using LEA Symbols™ and LEA Numbers.™ 

Low contrast acuity loss measurement can be used to demonstrate progress in disease treatment and help children's parents understand the need for continued care.
Pediatric Near Contrast TestThe Pediatric Near Contrast Test provides six contrast sensitivity levels: 100%, 25%, 5%, 2.5% and 1.25%.

The test is administered at 16 inches(40 cm) making it quicker and more convient than repositioning a patient to use a distance contrast test such as the (adult only) Pelli-Robson Test.

LEA Symbols™ and LEA Numbers™ at full contrast are presented 20/400 to 20/10 in 17 increments. The other contrast levels are presented in 15 levels 20/400 to 20/16. Optotype sizes are listed in Snellen feet and meters, LogMAR, decimal and letter size for each line.

A "mask" is provided to block the acuity measures and help focus the child's attention on the test line.
