Colour Vision Clinic

Colour vision assessment and advice including occupational vision standards

IshiApproximately 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females have defective colour vision. These individuals may find it difficult to tell the difference between certain combinations of colours. This can affect the ability to perform some everday tasks and in some cases may be a bar to certain occupations. There are many different types and severities of colour vision deficiency.  

 

This private staff clinic offers a diagnostic service for children and adults suspected of having defective colour vision. A complete range of tests is available including pseudoisochromatic plates, Farnsworth-Munsell tests, Anomaloscope and Lanterns.

Advice is given on suitability for specific occupations including work in industry, transport services, aviation and the armed forces.
