| Ishihara's Color
Blindness Test |
| |
| These series of images are
designed to provide a test which gives a quick and accurate
assessment of color vision deficiency of congenital origin. This is
the commonest form of color vision disturbances. |

normal and those with all sort of color vision deficiencies read it
as 12. |

read any numeral. |

 |
| The normal read this
as 6. The majority of those with color
vision deficiencies can not read them or read them
incorrectly. |

with red-green deficiencies read this as

blindness cannot read any numeral. |
| |

this as 45. The majority
of the normal and those with total color blindness cannot read any
numeral. |
| |
| Image 16 |
 |
| The normal read this as
26. In Protanopia and strong Protanomalia
only 6 is read, and in cases of mild
Protanomalia the numeral is read, but the 6
is clearer than the 2. In Deuteranopia and
strong Deuteranomalia only the 2 is read,
and in the case of mild Deuteranomalia both numerals are read but
the 2 is clearer than the
6. |
| |
| Image 17 |
 |
| The normal read this as
42. In Protanopia and strong Protanomalia
only 2is read, and in cases of mild
Protanomalia the numeral is read, but the 2
is clearer than the 4. In Deuteranopia and
strong Deuteranomalia only the 4 is read,
and in the case of mild Deuteranomalia both numerals are read but
the 4 is clearer than the
2. |

 |
| In tracing the winding
lines between the two X's, the normal trace along the
Purple and Red
lines, In Protanopia and strong Protanomalia, only the
Purple line is traced, and in the case of
mild Protanomalia both lines are traced but the
Purple line is easier to follow. In
Deuteranopia and strong Deuteranomalia only the
Red line is traced, and in the case of mild
Deuteranomalia both lines are traced but the
Red line is easier to
follow. |
| |
| Image 19 |
 |
| In tracing the winding
line between the two X's, the majority of those with red-green
deficiencies trace along the line, but the majority of the normal
and those with total color blindness are unable to follow the
line. |
| |
| Image 20 |
 |
| In tracing the winding
line between the two X's, the normal trace the bluish-green line,
but the majority of those with color vision deficiencies are unable
to follow the line or follow a line different from the normal
one. |
| |
| Image 21 |
 |
| In tracing the winding
line between the two X's, the normal trace the orange line, but the
majority of of those with color vision deficiencies are unable to
follow the line or follow a line different from the normal one.
|
| |
| Image 22 |
 |
| In tracing the winding
line between the two X's, the normal trace the line connecting the
bluish-green and the yellowish-green, those with red-green
deficiencies trace the line connecting the bluish-green and purple,
and those with total color blindness cannot trace any
line. |
| |
| Image 23 |
 |
| In tracing the winding line
between the two X's, the normal trace the line connecting the purple
and orange, those with red-green deficiencies trace the line
connecting the purple and bluish-green, and those with total color
blindness and weakness cannot trace any line. |

those with all sort of color vision deficiencies can trace the
winding line between the two X's. |
