“…Almost one third of all participants (both exposed and comparison) had an abnormal color confusion index or a blue-yellow color deWcit. This proportion seems very high compared with other studies such as those of Gong et al (2003) and Ihrig et al (2003).…”

“…16 In previous reports by Ihrig et al, 25 the median CCI value was 1.00-1.17 in 238 normal German subjects (mean age, 27 years). Good et al 14 reported that 54 normal men without ocular or systemic disease scored 1.10 (average) on the primary D-15DS test in 1400 lux illumination.…”

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.

“…However, not all color vision deficiency in occupational exposure detected by D15d is directly related to cognitive impairment. This was observed in the study of painters with color vision deficiency that when underwent cognitive testing showed no correlation between the degree of visual loss and the degree of cognitive impairment (Ihrig et al, 2003, Dick et al, 2004However, not all color vision deficiency in occupational exposure detected by D15d is directly related to cognitive impairment.

“…The visual function has been used as an important indicator neurointoxication by organic solvents (Baelum et al, 1982, Horan et al 1985. An abnormal vision may be related to the presence and may be the earliest symptom of optic neuropathies (Rosen, 1965), encephalopathy (Paalysaho et al, 2007, cognitive impairment (Dick et al, 2004) and other neurotoxical effects (Mutray et al, 1995, Ihrig et al, 2003.…”

Avaliação visual de sujeitos expostos de forma ocupacional a solventes orgânicos através de métodos psicofísicos

Os solventes orgânicos são substâncias neurotóxicas que podem causar efeitos danosos sobre as funções visuais. É comum a exposição ocupacional a esses tipos de substâncias, pois elas apresentam grande aplicabilidade em inúmeras atividades. Os efeitos podem ser quantificados por testes psicofísicos. Os testes mais usados nesse tipo de avaliação são de ordenamento de matizes, como o Teste D15 Dessaturado de Lanthony e o Teste dos 100 Matizes de Farnsworth-Munsell, e avaliação de sensibilidade ao contraste espacial de luminância, como MCT 8000 Vistech, VCTS 6500 Vistech e FACT 101. Em geral esses testes descrevem perda de discriminação de cores, afetando tanto o eixo azul-amarelo quanto o eixo verde-vermelho, e diminuição da sensibilidade ao contraste de luminância principalmente para as frequências espaciais mais baixas. Existe correlação positiva entre os resultados da avaliação psicofísica e vários marcadores biológicos e ambientais, mas essa correlação depende do marcador e do tipo de solvente ao qual os indivíduos são expostos. Fatores como alcoolismo crônico e tabagismo inveterado podem interferir no processo de correlacionar esses resultados.
