Levodopa Improves Spatial Contrast Sensitivity in Parkinson's Disease
Arch Neurol 50:721-724, Hutton,J.T.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Following levodopa treatment,the contrast sensitivity of parkinsonian patients improved significantly at the three lowest spatial frequencies tested(0.4,1,and 2 cycles per degree).Levodopa improves low-frequency contrast sensitivity in parkinsonian patients.Initially deficient contrast sensitivity in such patients may be restored to near normal levels by levodopa therapy.
