Visual fields described by contrast sensitivity, by acuity, and by relative sensitivity to different orientations

D Regan and KI Beverley

Sinewave grating contrast sensitivity was measured as a function of eccentricity and azimuthal angle for four orientations of gratings whose spatial frequencies ranged from 2 to 20 c/deg. Visual fields for cutoff spatial frequency were also mapped. Log contrast sensitivity fell off approximately linearly with eccentricity for all azimuths. Orientational differences in contrast sensitivity varied irregularly over the visual field and, though small for central vision, could reach as high as 25 dB in localized patches at eccentricities greater than about 12 degrees.
