“…On the contrary, Tagarelli et al showed there were no differences between the two groups in identifying the colours of traffic light signals. However, when the relative positions of the traffic lights were changed, more CVD subjects had difficulty identifying the colours than NCV subjects but the difference was not statistically significant [22].…”

“…Furthermore, the highest educational qualification was not significantly associated with colour vision status [21]. Another 2004 questionnaire survey showed no significant difference in the disciplines studied between NCV and CVD persons, but CVD interviewees tended towards technical studies (30%, as opposed to 18% of NCV subjects), and less of them undertook tertiary education in university (68.9%, as opposed to 79.9% of NCV subjects) [22].…”

“…Significantly higher proportion of CVD subjects preferred daytime driving over night-time driving compared to NCV subjects [22]. This could be due to difficulty identifying the reflectors on the road and identifying the lights of the car ahead at night [22].…”

“…A case control study showed that both CVD and NCV subjects who were qualified to drive were in similar proportions (83.4% and 83.8% respectively) [22]. However, regular use of a car was significantly less common among CVD subjects than NCV subjects [22].…”

Subjects with colour vision deficiency in the community: what do primary care physicians need to know?

Background: Congenital colour vision deficiency (CVD) has a prevalence of 8% for men and 0.4% for women. Amongst people born with normal colour vision, the acquired form of CVD can also affect them at later stages of their lives due to disease or exposure to toxin. Most CVD persons have difficulties dealing with colours in everyday life and at work, but these problems are under-reported due to a lack of its awareness in the general population. This literature review seeks to present findings of studies and reports on the impact of CVD on the affected persons chronologically through different stages of their lives and their coping measures. Methods: Scientific publications and corresponding references relating to how CVD affects individuals were searched, identified and retrieved from PubMed, National University of Singapore and Cochrane electronic databases. Books that were not available electronically were manually searched. Paramedical literature was also included through online searches using Google and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were English-based studies pertaining to effects of CVD on everyday life and respective coping measures, including experimental, observational studies, symposium proceedings and systematic review. There was no timeframe restriction for these publications. Articles using anecdotal evidence were excluded with the exception of those used to describe the effects of CVD on play age and school age. Our literature search found 136 articles, 60 of which were used in this review based on the respective selection criteria. Results: CVD affects many aspects of life from childhood to adulthood. The implications extend across play, sports, driving, education, occupation, discrimination, and health and safety issues. Awareness of CVD helps to identify and develop corresponding coping strategies. Conclusions: More work needs to be done in raising awareness of CVD and its implications, as well as implementing measures to overcome these difficulties.

Color vision deficiency (CVD) or color blindness is an ocular disorder that hinders the patients from distinguishing shades of certain colors. Color blind patients are often not considered for critical occupations (e.g., military, police) and cannot differentiate colors in public places or media (i.e., watching TV). The most common form of color blindness is red‐green, which is a result of either a missing or defective red or green photoreceptor cone. Since no cure for this disorder exists, sufferers opt for methods to enhance their color perception. The products and methods that have been developed to aid CVD patients are discussed. These technologies include contemporary work on gene therapy, tinted glasses, lenses, optoelectronic glasses, and advanced features developed on smartphones and computers. Among these wearables, tinted glasses, developed by companies such as Enchroma, are the most widely used by CVD patients.

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.
