Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Color Vision Science
Medical Diagnostics

Background:

Establishing normative data for color vision testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
The Heidelberg multi-color anomaloscope (HMC) is a key instrument for assessing color perception.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine reference values for the HMC anomaloscope in a healthy population.
To provide a basis for diagnosing red-green and blue color perception deficits.

Main Methods:

113 healthy subjects were categorized into four age groups.
Match midpoint, matching range (MR), and anomaly quotient (AQ) were calculated using Moreland and Rayleigh equations.
Neutral adaptation was performed using white light in absolute and relative modes.

Main Results:

Mean match midpoint (Rayleigh) varied with age, being highest in the 20-39 age group and lowest in those >60 years.
Mean matching range (MR) showed age-related increases, particularly in subjects >60 years.
Mean anomaly quotient (AQ) was approximately 1.01-1.02 in both modes and equations.

Conclusions:

The determined reference values are suitable for diagnosing red-green and blue perception impairments.
This study provides essential normative data for HMC anomaloscope utilization in clinical settings.
