[The Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test in the Bantu population. Preliminary results].

The purpose of this work was to establish in this first report the age standards of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue in Zaire. The Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test was performed in 132 normal subjects. All subjects were Zairian blacks aged from 20 to 49 years. The test was administered binocularly, once, to each subject. Subjects were divided in three age groups. The first age group had 35 subjects aged between 20 and 29 years, the second age group had 48 subjects aged between 30 and 39 years and the third 49 subjects aged between 40-49 years. The total error scores were 7.06 +/- 2.10 for the first age group, 9.03 +/- 1.80 for the second age group and 9.80 +/- 2 for the third age group. These results were aged related (r = 0.42, p inferior to 0.05). Scores of Zairian subjects in this study were higher when compared to those reported in Europe and U.S.A. Interpretation of results of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test must take in account this difference in ethnic origin.

VEP test of the blue-sensitive pathway in glaucoma.

PURPOSE: The blue-sensitive pathway in normal subjects and in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) was tested with the pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) method under selective adaptation. METHODS: Recording of pattern-onset VEP in response to blue (460-nm) stripes (0.88 c/deg) presented either without or with a bright yellow (570-nm) adaptation light (Maxwellian view, 33 degree diameter). Amplitude and peak times were evaluated, and the mean tritan score of the Farnsworth 100-hue test was determined. Age-matched normal subjects (n = 34) and (n = 32) patients with POAG were examined. RESULTS: The amplitude and peak time of the VEP without selective adaptation did not discriminate normal subjects from the POAG group. With selective adaptation, the amplitude was reduced (P = 0.002) and its peak time delayed (P < 0.0001) in POAG, yielding a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 94%. The VEP measures only under selective adaptation correlated significantly in patients with POAG with the mean perimetric defect, with the optic disc damage, and with the 100-hue test. CONCLUSIONS: Recording the blue-on-yellow VEP is a useful test in glaucoma research.

The normal color vision evaluated with FM 100-hue test.

One hundred and twenty normal subjects (240 eyes) aged from 10 to 69 were tested with FM 100-hue test. They were divided into 6 groups according to their age. It was shown that there were no statistically significant difference in the total error score (TES) between the males and females or between the right and left eyes, but there existed some relationships between the TES and age. The total error score (TES) was the lowest in the 20-29 age group and increased gradually with aging. The analysis of the partial error score (PES) in each age group showed that the PES was the lowest in 20-29 age group and that the larger PES appeared around the axis of titan with age increasing.

[A study of para-foveal color vision in normal-tension and primary open angle glaucoma eyes].

A perimetric color vision test developed by Iijima et al. for evaluating parafoveal color vision provides information regarding local retinal function which can not be evaluated by other color vision tests. Using this method, we investigated para-foveal color sensitivity in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes whose glaucomatous visual field change determined with the central 30-2 program of the Humphrey visual field analyzer was confined to either the upper or the lower hemifield. The examined eyes had no abnormalities in ocular media with best corrected visual acuity of 1.0 or higher, and age, refraction, mean deviation, and extent of visual field loss were matched between NTG and POAG eyes. In the para-foveal area of the spared hemifield, acquired blue-yellow dyschromatopsia was detected in 52.3% of the POAG eyes and in 11.3% of the NTG eyes (p < 0.02, chi 2-test), and in damaged hemifield, it was found in 76.1% of the POAG eyes and 80.7% of the NTG eyes. We suggest that visual function is more diffusely damaged in POAG than in NTG and that the perimetric color vision test is useful for detecting glaucomatous damage which cannot be detected with conventional light threshold measurements.

A second box-end scoring artifact in the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test.

PURPOSE: To investigate and describe a hitherto unreported scoring artifact in the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue Test, arising from the grouping of the caps into four boxes, which causes caps near the ends of a box to score less than caps near the center of a box. This artifact is in addition to a previously reported one, which causes caps near the end of a box to score more than caps in the center of the box. METHODS: Two different statistical simulations were used to generate synthetic cap sequences, which were scored in the normal way. RESULTS: For error scores less than about 500, the new artifact, which depresses scores at the ends of boxes, was found to dominate the pattern of scores. CONCLUSION: The existing published correction for the box-end scoring artifact is inappropriate for scores less than about 500, and therefore should be applied cautiously.

A model for the observer on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test.

PURPOSE: To use a theoretical model of the observer on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test to estimate the magnitude of random variation in 100-Hue test error scores. METHODS: The model was based upon classical signal detection theory. Results from the model were obtained by computer simulation. RESULTS: There is a fairly regular relationship between mean test scores over many tests and the standard deviation of those scores. This relationship is for practical purposes unaffected by polarity in the observer's hue discrimination and by changes in the detailed assumptions of the model. CONCLUSION: The model provides a flexible tool for further theoretical research into the 100-hue test.

[Pattern-induced flicker colors. An ophthalmologic examination method].

The pattern-induced flicker colours (PIFC), which belong to the subjective colours, are presented here as a method of investigating diseases of the eye and the visual track. Starting with Benham's top, new methods are elaborated for producing PIFC by means of rotating black and white discs and a computer-controlled black and white monitor. The investigations were performed in 40 normal and 111 pathological cases. A differentiation is made concerning the neuronal X-Y system. Different deficiencies result from different diseases. The PIFC are particularly suitable for the differential diagnosis of the neuritis nervi optici.

Effect of dysoxia and moderate air-hyperbarism on red-green color sensitivity.

The effect of acute air-hyperbarism (maximal 520 kPa), normobaric low and high FIO2 levels (minimal 0.1, maximal 1.0) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on the red-green sensitivity ratio (rgSR) and on color discrimination for foveal vision were studied. Effects were quantified by measuring the red-green flicker (16 Hz) fusion point for normals with the Oscar tester (Am J Optom Physiol Opt 1983; 60:892-901). Color discrimination was examined with the Lanthony's Desaturated 15 Hue test After 15-20 min of exposure rgSR is enhanced 4% (relatively increased red sensitivity) by normobaric acute hypoxia, and reduced 4% by normobaric hyperoxia (FIO2 = 1.0), but HBO2 gives a smaller reduction, and air-hyperbarism (FIO2 = 0.21) has no effect. Hypercapnia (increased FICO2), normobaric hypoxia (reduced FIO2), and HBO2 increase the duration of the Lanthony's test about 20-40%, but the number of errors were practically unchanged. The reduced effect during HBO2 upon rgSR is attributed to an opposing effect of hypercapnia. The absence of an effect during air-hyperbarism is probably due to a suppression by nitrogen of the effect of high PO2. In general, during moderate air-hyperbarism and HBO2 color vision seems to be normal, but evaluation of the colored scene is probably less stable and slightly slower.

[The comparative neurobiology of human and animal color vision].

Discrimination of colours was studied using instrumental learning paradigm in monkeys (Macaque rhesus) and fishes (Carpio Cyprinus L.). The confusion matrices composed of probabilities of instrumental responses were treated by factor analysis. The spherical structure of perceptual colour space revealed in both animals was close to one in humans. Four eigenvectors constituting four-dimensional Euclidean hyperspheres correspond to red-green, blue-yellow, bright and dark neuronal channels.

[New method of visual fields color division in diploptic treatment of strabismus].

A new method of color division of the visual fields based on polarized light interference is described. A new method for diploptic therapy of strabismus is developed, based on the above principle and possessing numerous advantages. The method was used in 38 patients with binocular disorders of various severity; binocular function improved in 18. The method is particularly effective in the patients with correct position of the eyes with bifoveal fusion on the synaptophore and parallel color test vision and in the patients with binocular vision and amblyobinopia.

Color discrimination in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca before and after artificial tear application.

BACKGROUND: The precorneal tear film is of decisive importance for the optical quality of the cornea. Poor stability of this film causes not only dry eye symptoms, but also has negative effects on optical functions of the eye, as previous studies on visual acuity, field test performance and contrast sensitivity have shown. METHODS: 60 patients with dry eyes randomized into 2 groups of 30 underwent color vision testing with the Lanthony Desaturated 15 Hue test before and after instillation of artificial tear (test group) or physiological saline (control group) drops. RESULTS: The improvement in color discrimination in the group given artificial tear treatment was found to be slightly better than in the saline group but in both groups this improvement was not of statistical significance. CONCLUSION: Even though an unstable tear film adversely affects the optics of the eye and even mildly degraded optics can affect spatial visual tasks, color discrimination performance on tasks such as the Lanthony D-15 test does not appear to be markedly impaired.
