Contrast sensitivity perimetry data from adults free of eye disease

Abstract

This data article contains data referenced in “Individual Differences in the Shape of the Nasal Visual Field” [1]. The data were gathered from volunteers free of eye disease ages 21–85 who were tested with Contrast Sensitivity Perimetry (CSP), which uses a stimulus resistant to effects of defocus and reduced retinal illumination. Some subjects were tested only once or a few times, and others were part of a longitudinal cohort with as many as 10 tests. Parameters from maximum likelihood estimation of psychophysical threshold at each tested location are included in the data file, along with the participant׳s sex, age at time of test, the center of their physiological blind spot, the duration of test, the time of day that the test was begun, and the starting contrast used for the psychophysical staircases.
