Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Contrast sensitivity testing can detect cataracts or problems of the retina even before the sharpness of the patient's vision is impaired. This test measures how well you can distinguish between finer increments of light versus dark, which is a more subtle aspect of vision than what is tested with a standard eye chart.
