[Computer method for evaluating disorders in sense of color]
Abstract:
A new method for evaluating disorders in the sense of color has been developed and offered for practice. A total of 340 patients with diseases of the retina and optic nerve and 80 normal subjects were examined. The results indicate that different conditions of examination, selection of combination by the color, brightness, and deepness of the stimulus and background allow detection of decreased sensitivity of one, two, or three color perceptors (disorders in sense of color--color blindness) and permit a quantitative evaluation of functional disorders in the color channels of visual system. The new method can be used in the diagnosis of the initial pathological processes of different origin, involving the cone system at any level of visual route and associated with acquired disorders in color vision.
