[Examination of confusion loci in acquired color vision deficiency with surface color]

Miscellaneous color vision tests were performed on 66 eyes in 46 acquired blue-yellow deficiency cases, in which the deficiency resembled congenital tritanopia. The confusion loci converged at a point on the short wavelength side of the spectrum in central chorioretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, branch retinal vein occlusion, retinal pigmentary degeneration, and macular degeneration. However, the confusion loci of glaucoma differed from those of the other 5 diseases of the retina. They crossed the purple boundary, showing a unique tendency among the diseases exhibiting acquired blue-yellow deficiency. In these diseases, except in chorioretinopathy, no correlation was observed between visual acuity, visual field and color confusion.
