Reduced Contrast Sensitivity

Reduced Contrast Sensitivity
Look at some wood (image below). Your ability to see the shades of brown in the wood is called your contrast sensitivity. Where the subtle differences between shades and tints of colours can't be seen clearly, or at all, (needing greater contrast), this is called Reduced Contrast Sensitivity.
