    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Context:

    • Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Accurate and efficient screening methods are crucial for early detection and management.
    • Existing screening tools like Ishihara plates have limitations in practical application.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the reliability and practicality of a color test disk for mass screening of color blindness.
    • To compare the efficacy of the color test disk against the established Ishihara isochromatic color plates.
    • To determine the suitability of the color test disk for differentiating specific types of color vision deficiencies, such as protanopia and deuteranopia.

    Summary:

    • The color test disk demonstrates reliability comparable to Ishihara plates for mass color blindness testing.
    • Practical advantages include consistent testing conditions and a quick, easy procedure.
    • The color test disk significantly outperforms Ishihara plates in differentiating between protanopia and deuteranopia.

    Impact:

    • Provides a potentially superior alternative for large-scale color vision deficiency screening.
    • Facilitates more accurate diagnosis and differentiation of specific color vision defects.
    • Improves the efficiency and accessibility of color blindness testing in clinical and educational settings.
