title: [Computer-based determination of red/green color vision defects].
abstract: A commonly used method of investigating colour vision, that is, the ability of the human visual system to discriminate colours, is based on the use of isochromatic colour plates, such as those used in the Ishihara test. The present paper describes a new computer-based method of determining red/green colour vision deficiencies. The method involves the presentation of Ishihara colour plates on a computer monitor. It has been verified experimentally that, despite the differences between the spectral emission of the computer screen and the daylight reflected by the Ishihara plates, the method is capable of distinguishing between subjects with from those without colour vision deficiencies. For screening purposes, the use of a reduced number of plates is suggested. This suggestion makes use of nine instead of 14 plates, and the criterion of two incorrectly recognized plates to determine a colour vision deficiency.
