title: [Effect of hormonal contraceptives and caffeine on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue Test].
abstract: The Farnsworth-Munsell-100 Hue-Test (FMT) shows an increasing importance for judgement of colour vision disturbances and drug side effects on the ocular system, respectively. Because of the widening of caffeine use, the high incidence of intake of oral contraceptives and the absence of prospective studies, it is necessary to do it to investigate the possibility of influences on colour vision. 206 test persons of both sexes took part in our investigation with the FMT to clear influences of caffeine, oral contraceptives and the combination of both of them. A remarkable result is that caffeine with intake of oral contraceptives diminished the ability of colour discrimination in a wide range of visible coloured light. These investigations are in addition to views known from relevant literature.
