Screens for colour vision deficiencies, helping identify red-green or other colour perception issues.
A colour vision test screens for difficulty distinguishing between certain colours, most commonly red and green, which can be present from birth or develop due to certain eye or health conditions.
The most common method uses a series of plates with colored dots forming numbers or patterns, which are difficult or impossible to see if a colour vision deficiency is present.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, colour vision testing is quick and often included as part of a routine eye exam or when required for specific occupational or licensing needs.
