Table 2. Contrast sensitivity (CS), in logCS, measured before any stimulation as reference and after each stimulation condition including short- (S), middle- (M), long-wavelength light (L) and polychromatic light (P) stimulating the eye screen full-field (FF) or only the optic nerve head (ONH).

Median, interquartile range (IQR) and area under the logarithmic contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) are listed to compare each condition (n = 30; *** p<0.0001).
