[Diagnosis and classification of variants of color vision in the light of new methodological approaches]

The authors suggest that the parameters of color force of the receptors and the possible abnormal disposition of their maximal sensitivity by the spectrum be taken into consideration in the diagnosis of color perception. Assessment of color force was acknowledged to be more significant than of color abnormalities, both from a viewpoint of occupational selection, and from a clinical viewpoint. This is reflected in the suggested classification of color vision and in recommendations for use in practical ophthalmology of new threshold tables created by Yustova-Alexeyeva et al. These tables are based on the results of colorimetric investigations, and the results of their trials are reliable.
