    This study introduces an improved scoring system for the City University Colour Vision Tests (City 1 and City 2) using Information Theory. The enhanced scoring method offers better differentiation between normal and defective color vision than existing systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Visual Science

    Background:

    • Color vision testing is crucial for diagnosing and managing visual impairments.
    • Existing color vision tests have limitations in accuracy and scoring.
    • The City University Colour Vision Tests (City 1 and City 2) are widely used but require optimized scoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an improved scoring system for the City University Colour Vision Tests (City 1 and City 2).
    • To apply Information Theory principles for weighted scoring of test plates.
    • To determine optimal cut-off scores for distinguishing normal from defective color vision.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected data from 455 male subjects using both City 1 and City 2 tests.
    • Established criterial status using the Nagel anomaloscope.

  • Applied Information Theory to assign weighted scores to each test plate and determine cut-off points.

    • Main Results:

    • Developed a novel scoring system based on Information Theory, outperforming the manufacturer's system.
    • The second edition (City 2) demonstrated significant improvement over the first edition (City 1).
    • Both City 1 and City 2 were found to be less effective than most standard Picture-based Colour Vision (PIC) tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The Information Theory-based scoring system enhances the diagnostic accuracy of the City University Colour Vision Tests.
    • City 2 represents a notable advancement over City 1.
    • Further development is needed to match the performance of other common color vision tests.
