Abstract
A pilot study of low contrast visual acuity testing using Regan Charts has been undertaken in 34 patients seropositive for Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus and 20 normal control subjects. Low contrast visual acuities of the HIV (+) patients both with and without HIV retinopathy were found to be significantly lower than the age-matched controls (p < 0.01). This finding is probably attributable to pathology related to HIV in the visual pathways/Central Nervous System. Lowest contrast Chart (Chart C) was found to be a useful diagnostic tool for HIV retinopathy and presumed neuropathy.Entities:
