[Color vision and the diagnosis of reduced visual acuity].
Unexplained visual acuity loss requires a systematic approach to gather as many findings of diagnostic value as possible. Most retinal or optic nerve diseases are accompanied by color vision disorders. The type and severity of color vision disorders may provide additional diagnostic or guiding information or may uncover aggravating or simulating factors.
