“…This test evaluates a subject's ability to arrange 15 low‐saturation, colored caps in a defined chromatic sequence . The D‐15d was designed to detect mild dyschromatopsia in individuals who successfully complete the standard Farnsworth D‐15 test, which assesses more severe deficits in chromatic discrimination . The D‐15d is also useful for classifying color vision defects, based on the confusion axis on which the predominance of errors occur (blue‐yellow, red‐green, or both).…”

Background Styrene is a chemical used in the manufacture of plastic-based products worldwide. We systematically reviewed eligible studies of occupational styrene-induced dyschromatopsia, qualitatively synthesizing their findings and estimating the exposure effect through meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were queried for eligible studies. Using a random effects model, we compared measures of dyschromatopsia between exposed and non-exposed workers to calculate the standardized mean difference (Hedges’ g). We also assessed between-study heterogeneity and publication bias. Results Styrene-exposed subjects demonstrated poorer color vision than did the non-exposed (Hedges’ g = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.76; p < 0.0001). A non-significant Cochran’s Q test result (Q = 23.2; p = 0.171) and an I2 of 32.2% (0.0%, 69.9%) indicated low-to-moderate between-study heterogeneity. Funnel plot and trim-and-fill analyses suggested publication bias. Conclusions This review confirms the hypothesis of occupational styrene-induced dyschromatopsia, suggesting a modest effect size with mild heterogeneity between studies.
