Summary

This study analyzed color vision using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue (FM100) test in 160 individuals aged 10-69. Results show significant age-related changes in color vision performance, providing a reference for clinical assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vision Science
  • Color Perception

Background:

  • Color vision is crucial for daily activities.
  • Accurate assessment of color vision is essential for diagnosing defects.
  • Establishing normative data is vital for interpreting test results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative color vision data using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue (FM100) test.
  • To investigate the influence of age on color vision performance.
  • To provide a reference for clinicians evaluating color vision abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 160 healthy individuals (10-69 years) underwent the FM100 test.
  • Testing was conducted under standardized Macbeth Easel lamp illumination (1000 lux).

  • Data were analyzed for total scores, individual box scores, and by age group and sex.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean total scores on the FM100 test showed significant correlation with age in both eyes (Right eye: R=0.308, P=0.0001; Left eye: R=0.246, P=0.0021).
    • Age-specific mean scores ranged from 7.44 to 10.07 for the right eye and 7.56 to 10.16 for the left eye.
    • Normative data were established for different age groups, aiding in the interpretation of color vision test results.

    Conclusions:

    • Age significantly impacts color vision performance as measured by the FM100 test.
    • The study provides valuable normative data for the FM100 test across a wide age range.
    • These findings assist clinicians in identifying and assessing color vision defects in patients.
