CSF measurements were obtained by the quick CSF method, a novel active learning algorithm that covers 19 spatial frequencies and 128 contrast levels. The peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL), macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC), radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) and macular vasculature were measured by optical coherence tomography and angiography. Correlation and regression analyses were used to assess the association of area under log CSF (AULCSF), CSF acuity and contrast sensitivities at multiple spatial frequencies with structural parameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>AULCSF and CSF acuity were positively associated with pRNFL thickness, RPC density, mGCC thickness and superficial macular vessel density (p&lt;0.05). Those parameters were also significantly associated with contrast sensitivity at 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 18 cycles per degree spatial frequencies (p&lt;0.05) and, the lower the spatial frequency, the higher the correlation coefficient. RPC density (p=0.035, p=0.023) and mGCC thickness (p=0.002, p=0.011) had significant predictive value for contrast sensitivity at 1 and 1.5 cycles per degree, with adjusted<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>of 0.346 and 0.343, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Full spatial frequency contrast sensitivity impairment, most notably at low spatial frequencies, is a characteristic change in POAG.
