Procedures for Testing Color Vision
1981
Color vision tests are used in selecting personnel for certain occu-
pations that require the use of color vision. These tests are also used
clinically to identify and differentiate congenital and acquired disorders
involving color vision. Several basic techniques are used for testing color
vision. Many different devices are available commercially. It is extremely
important that color vision testing devices be validated before being adopted
for screening; this requires demonstration that a test actually does identify
and discriminate among color vision deficiencies as required for a particu-
lar occupational task Some, but not all, commercially available tests have
been adequately validated. This information, however, may not be available
from any single source, making it difficult for users to decide what tests are
most appropriate for their needs.
A working group was established to assemble information on existing
color vision tests and to assess their utility and the extent to which they have
been adequately validated. This report, describes the administration, scor-
ing, and interpretation of various color vision tests and evaluates validation
studies that have been performed on these tests. Additional material is in-
cluded to make this report a self-contained reference source on procedures
for testing color vision. Characterization of color vision and the classifica-
tion of color vision defects are described. An appendix on the principles
for test design is included for nonspecialists. Recommendations are made
for the appropriate use of color vision tests in occupational screenings. The
report includes information on most of the more commonly used tests.
