Why this test

Why this test, for concussion recovery.

Mild traumatic brain injury commonly leaves subtle visual changes — blur, light sensitivity, trouble reading text on a screen — that pass a standard 20/20 acuity exam without comment.

Mid-spatial-frequency contrast sensitivity often shows changes when standard tests don't. Repeated measures during recovery are more useful than a single number — patterns over weeks tell a different story than any one session.

Take the test now, then retake at one week, four weeks, and three months. Bring the trend (not just one chart) to a neuro-optometrist or your primary care visit.

Honest framing

What this test can and can’t tell you.

It can

  • Surface mid-frequency contrast changes that a standard acuity test wouldn’t catch.
  • Track recovery — or persistent symptoms — over weeks and months.
  • Provide curve and trend data for a neuro-optometric specialist.

It can’t

  • Diagnose concussion or post-concussion syndrome.
  • Replace a comprehensive neuro-optometric evaluation.
  • Beat single-session variance — trends across tests matter more than any one number.
