“…4,6,8,23,24 Moreover, extended exposure to numerous chemical agents and medicine also has been associated with alterations in colour discrimination. [6][7][8]19 Although those case-control studies were well reported, multifactorial analysis of ACVI has been studied less. The Okubo Color Study will investigate these relationships in later reports.…”

“…The desaturated Lanthony D-15 panel (D-15DS) is most commonly used in an occupational setting 4 and provides fast, accurate testing of subjects exposed to solvents 5 and many chemical toxins (ie, solvent mixtures, styrene, perchloroethylene, toluene, tetrachloroethylene, carbon disulphide, and alcohol) that are lethal to the visual system. [6][7][8] However, the test yields only semiquantitative information if analyzed by the method recommended by the manufacturer. The Farnsworth-Munsell (F-M) 100-hue test 9 is time-consuming; however, it assesses acquired colour discrimination abnormalities quantitatively and is suitable for clinical and scientific research.…”

Purpose To better understand the reference values and adequate discrimination values of colour vision function with described quantitative systems for the Lanthony desaturated D-15 panel (D-15DS). Methods A total of 1042 Japanese male officials were interviewed and underwent testing using Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates, standard pseudoisochromatic plates part 2, and the D-15DS. The FarnsworthMunsell (F-M) 100-hue test and the criteria of Verriest et al were used as definitive tests. Outcomes of the D-15DS were calculated using Bowman's Colour Confusion Index (CCI). The study design included two criteria. In criterion A, subjects with current or past ocular disease and a best-corrected visual acuity less than 0.7 on a decimal visual acuity chart were excluded. In criterion B, among subjects who satisfied criterion A, those who had a congenital colour sense anomaly were excluded. Results Overall, the 90th percentile (95th percentile) CCI values for criteria A and B in the worse eye were 1.70 (1.95) and 1.59 (1.73), respectively. In subjects satisfying criterion B, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.951 (95% confidence interval, 0.931-0.971). The CCI discrimination values of 1.52 or 1.63 showed 90.3% sensitivity and 90% specificity, or 71.5% sensitivity and 95% specificity, respectively, for discriminating acquired colour vision impairment (ACVI). ConclusionWe provided the 90th and 95th percentiles in a young to middle-aged healthy population. The CCI is in good agreement with the diagnosis of ACVI. Our results could be helpful for using D-15DS for screening purposes.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Derzeit sind bereits viele Applikationen (Apps) auch f?r ophthalmologische Anwendungen, darunter u.?a. f?r die Farbsehtestung, verf?gbar. Es gibt allerdings bis jetzt keine Farbsehtest-App, die durch klinische Studien auf einem Tablet-PC evaluiert ist. Methode: Unter standardisierten Testbedingungen wurden Farbsehtests mittels HMC-Anomaloskop und 19 Velhagen/Broschmann/Kuchenbecker-Farbtafeln unter Verwendung eines Tablet-PCs (iPad2?) durchgef?hrt. Dabei wurden die Tafeln abwechselnd als Erstes mittels Buch (Pigmentfarbtafeln) oder mittels Tablet-PC (iPad?) pr?sentiert. Es wurden insgesamt 77 freiwillige Probanden untersucht. 62 Probanden waren farbnormal und 15 m?nnliche Probanden wiesen eine Farbsehst?rung auf. Es wurde die ?bereinstimmung und das 95?%-Konfidenzintervall bestimmt. Ergebnisse: Das Durchschnittsalter aller Probanden (n?=?77) betrug 42,8???16,9 Jahre. Der mittlere Nahvisus aller Probanden betrug 0,99???0,15. Die ?bereinstimmung der Ergebnisse aller Probanden von Buch und Tablet-PC betrug 88,0?%. Das 95?%-Konfidenzintervall reichte von 81,6 bis 89,6?%. Bei den Probanden mit Farbsehst?rungen (n?=?15) bestand eine ?bereinstimmung von 83,3?%. Das 95?%-Konfidenzintervall reichte von 78,4 bis 87,3?%. Bei den Probanden ohne Farbsehst?rung (n?=?62) bestand eine ?bereinstimmung von 89,1?%. Das 95?%-Konfidenzintervall reichte von 87,1 bis 90,8?%. Die ?berlappung der Fehleranzahl von Farbnormalen und Farbfehlsichtigen lag beim Buch bei 2 Fehlern und beim Tablet PC bei 5 Fehlern. Schlussfolgerungen: Bei der Untersuchung des Farbsehens mittels Buch und Tablet-PC konnten nur in etwa vergleichbare Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Die Trennsch?rfe des Buches war besser und die Tafeln wiesen eine unterschiedliche Eignung auf, sodass nur einige Tafeln auf einem Tablet-PC Verwendung finden k?nnten.

“…This deterioration correlates with exposure duration and intensity. Research on this topic was comprehensively covered by Iregren et al (42) in their review of literature published until December 2000 on colour vision and occupational chemical exposure. Briefl y, several types of tests of colour vision are available, including pseudo-isochromatic plates (standard pseudoisochromatic plates, Ishihara plates, American Optical plates, and the City University tritan) and colour arrangement tests [Farnsworth D15, Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test (FM 100), and Lanthony D15 de-saturated panel].…”

The Eye - a Neglected Organ in Environmental and Occupational Medicine: An Overview of Known Environmental and Occupational Non-Traumatic Effects on the EyesThe objective of this study was to give an overview of the known literature data on the influence of environmental and occupational factors on the eye. Sixty-six articles were selected by searching Medline and PubMed databases using the following key words in different combinations: occupational and environmental factors, dry eye syndrome, cataract, retinal vascular changes.Most of the studies dealt with conditions on the eye surface and used eye discomfort syndrome and dry eye syndrome to outline the effects of air pollutants. Some reported increased frequency of lens opacities due to indoor fuel exposure, in particular biofuel, and negative effects of styrene exposure on colour vision. Investigations of retinal vascular changes and retinopathy after chronic exposure to carbon disulfide (CS2) and of retinal and choroidal haemodynamics after exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) found that CS2 caused an increase in retinal venous diameters and CO caused an increase in arterial and venous diameters, retinal blood flow velocity, and fundus pulsation amplitude. This article also discusses the influence of light exposure on retinal damage. It shows that very little information is available about the influence of environmental and occupational factors on the eye, and retina and retinal vessels in particular.
