Study of colour blindness in school children.
Of the 1553 male and 519 female students in schools of Patiala, between the age group of 10 and 15 years, 3.85% males and 0.38% females were found colour-blind. The students were tested by Ishihara Charts, Edridge Green Lantern and then assayed by Pickford Nicolson Anomaloscope and the results were presented in detail. In addition, the affected students were also tested for their acuity of vision and were found normal.
