Large and small letter contrast sensitivity and visual acuity were assessed in 37 elderly eyes (mean VA - 0.01 logMAR, Snellen 6/6) and their lens opacities were categorised and graded using the LOGS III system. Large letter contrast sensitivity was often not reduced in cataract from age-matched normal values and provided limited information. Small letter contrast sensitivity was shown to be a more sensitive measure of early cataract than visual acuity and large letter contrast sensitivity. Its usefulness may be limited by its strong correlation with visual acuity (r(2) = 0.70), which is the standard and traditional measure of vision in cataract. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
