Effects of screen-based retinal light stimulation measured with a novel contrast sensitivity test

Supplementary dataset required to replicate the results from the submitted manuscript "Effects of screen-based retinal light stimulation measured with a novel contrast sensitivity test" by Antonia Neumann (1, antonia.neumann@uni-tuebingen.de), Katharina Breher (1,2) and Siegfried Wahl (1,2), 2021 in PLOS ONE.

Data availability

The following file contains all data, which you can be find in the "Data"-folder: Data_PONE-D-21-04429R1.mat

The dataset provides contrast sensitivity results measured under different conditions, displayed on a LCD display (ViewPixx/3d, VPixx Technologies Inc., Saint-Bruno, Canada). All test procedures were based on the software Matlab (MATLAB R2020a, MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA) using the Psychophysics Toolbox Version 3 (Brainard, 1997 and Kleiner et al., 2007). Contrast sensitivity was assessed by using a new contrast sensitivity test based on the method of adjustment incorporating Gabor patches of different spatial frequencies (see test conditions below) and orientations (0°, 45°, 90° and 135°).

The data is structured into subjects ("Subject"), their refraction group ("Refraction Group": myope and non-myope) and the test / stimulation conditions.

Test and stimulation conditions include three variables :

  • Location (2 levels: Optic nernve head (ONH) and screen full-field (FF)),
  • Wavelength range (4 levels: short-wavelengths (S), middle-wavelengths (M), long-wavelengths (L) and polychromatic light (P)),
  • Spatial frequecy in cycles per degree (cpd) (5 levels: 3 cpd, 6 cpd, 12 cpd, 18 cpd and 24 cpd)

Description This study was conducted to investigate whether retinal light stimulation of different wavelength ranges is able to elicit changes in contrast sensitivity and, therefore, may be used for myopia control purposes.
