Effect of congenital color vision deficiency on the ability of optometrists to correctly identify lesions in ocular fundus photographs.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the influence of color vision deficiency (CVD) on the ability of practicing optometrists to correctly identify lesions in digital color fundus photographs with and without the aid of a commercially available color vision remediation device.

Methods

This study was conducted at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Academy of Optometry in Indianapolis, IN, USA. The color vision of each subject was assessed using the Konan ColorDx CCT-HD®. Individuals with a score <90 for any cone type were classified as having CVD. Each subject then attempted to correctly identify lesions in a series of 12 digital color fundus photographs. Subjects identified as having CVD repeated the photograph task while wearing EnChroma® indoor lenses. The quality of life (QoL) of
