    Area of Science:

    • Optometry
    • Vision Science
    • Color Perception

    Background:

    • Sunglasses with varying transparency and absorption levels can alter color perception.
    • Accurate color vision is critical for professions such as drivers and engine drivers.
    • Standardized tests are essential for evaluating color vision deficiencies and filter impacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of four types of sunglasses, with 25%, 50%, and 75% transparency/absorption, on color vision.
    • To determine the suitability of specific sunglass filters for professional drivers and railway engine drivers.
    • To provide data-driven recommendations for selecting appropriate eyewear for safety-critical occupations.

    Main Methods:

    • Color vision assessment in 60 participants with normal color discrimination.
    • Evaluation of four sunglass types with controlled transparency and absorption characteristics.
    • Utilized Nagel's anomaloscope and Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue tests for precise color vision evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Sunglass filters significantly influenced color vision perception across different transparency levels.
    • Performance variations were observed in color discrimination tests based on sunglass characteristics.
    • Specific filter selections demonstrated differential impacts on color perception relevant to professional driving tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • Sunglass selection requires careful consideration of transparency and absorption to maintain adequate color vision.
    • The study provides a basis for selecting optimal sunglass filters for professional drivers to ensure visual safety.
    • Further research could explore a wider range of filters and participant demographics for broader applicability.
