Color Vision Disorders: Diagnostic Tests

Obligatory medical device diagnostics.

  • Color vision tests such as.
    • Color charts according to Ishihara (Ishihara test).
    • Anomaloscope according to Nagel
    • Farnsworth test
    • Panel D15 test
  • Perimetry (visual field measurement)

Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the medical history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and mandatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.

  • Electroretinography (ERG; recording of the electrical stimulus response to brief exposure to light) – to check the functional state of the outer and middle retinal layers.
  • Visual evoked potentials – to detect damage in the course of the visual pathway.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) – for precise examination of the retina (especially the macula), vitreous and optic nerve.
  • Computed tomography of the skull (cranial CT, cranial CT or cCT) – for differential diagnostic clarification.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging of the skull (cranial MRI, cranial MRI or cMRI) – for differential diagnostic clarification.
