Brief Summary   Many contrast sensitivity(CS) tests have been developed in the past which could assess central CS. Spaeth and Richman Contrast sentivity test(SPARCS) asesses both central and peripheral CS.This study aims to establish normative database of Contrast sentivity in Indian population using SPARCS.
