Colour Vision Testing Information about colour deficiencies and the importance of colour vision testing Did you know that many of us will have defective colour vision? Seeing in colour If employees in your organisation are routinely making colour decisions based on what they can see, it may be wise to have their colour vision tested periodically.
Non-invasive tests The Ishihara Test Assesses for colour deficiency commonly known as colour blindness , a condition characterised by the reduced ability to distinguish different colours of the spectrum. The Farnsworth-Munsell Hue Test Used widely in the industry for over 40 years, this test detects colour vision abnormalities and assesses colour acuity, the ability to identify changes in colour.
Results Test results are analysed by our colour experts at VeriVide and certificates are issued for each individual showing their total score and classification. Locations You choose!

Processes of adaptation constantly adjust visual sensitivity according to the stimulus the observer is currently viewing. A red light adapts the L and M cones more than the S cones.
This alters their relative responses to a subsequently viewed light, causing a stimulus that previously appeared white to appear greenish. A striking demonstration of color adaptation is provided by the Lilac Chaser illusion , in which lilac spots fade with viewing so that only the transient green afterimage when each spot is removed is visible. Adaptation effects occur throughout the visual system and at many time scales, and thus adjust color perception to many different aspects of the visual world.
These contextual processes play an important role in contributing to color constancy. Gegenfurtner, K. Sharpe, eds. Color Vision: From Genes to Perception.

This means that the results of a student may be affected in a negative way by errors made due to colorblindness e. Survey and experiment: The main goal of this paper is to determine how colorblindness affects now and in the past school and university performance. In order to do so, a survey was conducted on a group of 26 students, who were diagnosed with various types of colorblindness.
Society has therefore on the whole treated colour blind people no differently to people with normal colour vision. Colour Blind Awareness aims to increase awareness of the needs of colour blind people in everyday life.
A few areas of industry, transport services and the armed forces are probably the only areas where it is accepted that colour blindness could potentially cause problems and it is recognised that there are certain types of job which the colour blind are not suited to, mostly for safety reasons.
In most instances an employer must take reasonable steps to accommodate employees with CVD. See the business section for further details. But by far the most important oversight is the plight of colour blind school children who are left to struggle in the classroom due to lack of awareness of the effects of their disability by both their parents and teachers.
The UK Government recognises that colour blindness can be a Special Educational Need and a disability but provides no advice or support for schools, teachers and parents.
