Two hundred sixteen eyes (164 patients) were studied with the Arden printed contrast gratings to test Arden's hypothesis that an abnormal score would distinguish between eyes with and without glaucoma. Ninety-five eyes were normal and 75 eyes were glaucomatous; 46 eyes suspected of being glaucomatous were also studied to determine whether such eyes would score differently than eyes with normal intraocular pressures. No age-dependent trend in scoring was found in the different diagnostic categories, except with the age group younger than 40 years, which had consistently better contrast sensitivity. The tests were demonstrated to be reproducible over time and showed little or no intertester variability. Decreased contrast sensitivity was found in the glaucomatous eyes compared with normal eyes. The scores of the eyes suspected of being glaucomatous fell between the scores of the glaucomatous and normal eyes. Overlapping distributions among the three groups, however, limit the diagnostic value of the test.
对216只眼（164例患者）使用 Arden 印刷对比光栅进行研究，以检验 Arden 的假说，即异常分数可区分患青光眼和未患青光眼的眼睛。95只眼正常，75只眼患青光眼；还对46只疑似青光眼的眼睛进行了研究，以确定这些眼睛的得分是否与眼压正常的眼睛不同。除了40岁以下年龄组的对比敏感度始终较好外，在不同诊断类别中未发现得分与年龄相关的趋势。这些测试被证明随时间具有可重复性，并且测试者之间的变异性很小或没有。与正常眼睛相比，青光眼患者的眼睛对比敏感度降低。疑似青光眼的眼睛得分介于青光眼和正常眼睛得分之间。然而，三组之间的分布重叠限制了该测试的诊断价值。
