Design criteria for a clinical anomaloscope

  • Chapter
Colour Vision Deficiencies XI

Part of the book series: Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceedings Series ((DOPS,volume 56))

Abstract

The features of an anomaloscope which would optimize its usefulness in clinical work are described and discussed. These include the following: (1) Free viewing, (2) Choice of Rayleigh and Moreland equations including tests of fully dichromatic matches (Red ≡ Green and Indigo ≡ Green); all with simple (fool-proof) interchanges, (3) Two control variables (primary ratio and test radiance) reducing to one for dichromatic equations, (4) A choice of field sizes and luminances to test for large-field anomalous trichromacy in classical 2° dichromats and to test pathologies involving reduction in effective or actual cone pigment concentration, (5) Flicker photometry to establish the relative luminances of stimuli as a precursor to equiluminant colour matching in which hue is the only variable, and (6) Computer control of standardized examination protocol/s, data acquisition, analysis and display.
