Study Notes

Color Vision Defects

Protanopes and deuteranopes may see a distant green traffic signal as yellow or yellow-green.
Protans need 2-4 times more intensity to perceive red lights.

Occupations and Color Vision

Pilots require good color vision.
Electricians may benefit from defective color vision, as they may be less distracted by color-coded wires.
Doctors, especially ophthalmologists, may be required to fill out forms or write evaluation letters for patients taking color vision tests.
Military personnel, such as naval officers, require the ability to see colored signals, polychromatic sonar screens, radar navigation, and anti-collision beacons.
Police officers, especially forensic experts, may need to detect camouflage.
Fashion designers, interior designers, and cosmetologists require the ability to match colors in textiles, paints, and cosmetics.

Counseling and Management

The starting point for explaining the severity of a patient's color vision defect is the correct diagnosis.
Counseling should be tailored to the patient's needs and type of color vision defect.
Young children with color vision defects should be reassured that they need not be ashamed of any color mistakes.
Color coding plays a significant role in early school years for children with color vision defects.
Adolescents and adults with color vision defects should be advised about potential career limitations.
The main factor determining the quality of management of patients with inherited color vision defects is proper diagnosis and counseling.
Optometrists can offer support and coping strategies for patients with inherited color vision defects, although there is no cure.
Young children and their parents should be informed about schooling and color vision defects.
Adolescents and adults with color vision defects should be advised about driving considerations.
Some patients may request assistance with improving color discrimination.
