In this work, the aim was to measure the Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) among patients with, and healthy volunteers without this pathology. The subjects of the tests were 12 female volunteers, aged 20-37 years — six of them with migraine, and six other ones without migraine. CSF measurements were performed using static visual stimuli of angular sine-wave gratings, with spatial frequencies of 2, 3, 4, 24 and 64 cycles/360o. Method used was the psychophysical one, with forced choice between two temporal alternatives, conditions of photopic luminance (screen average luminance of 41 cd/m2), and binocular vision with natural pupil. The results demonstrate that visual perception of contrast by the volunteers with migraine was lower in the frequencies of 2, 3, 4 and 64 cycles/360°. These preliminary findings suggest changes in the CSF related to this pathology. 05 Psico-inglês 22-1.pmd 28/9/2011, 07:47 81 82 EVALUATION OF CONTRAST SENSITIVITY... LIANA C. MENDES, MELYSSA K. C.
