What is the color perception test?

color perception test is a type of visual screening used to test on color. The most common test of color perception is the iShihara test, named for its developers Dr. Shinobu Ishihara. This color perception test consists of a series of 38 cards printed circles made of different color dots. The contrasting dots in the center of each circle form a numerical figure perceived by those who have normal color vision. People who suffer from color are usually unable to perceive the color test numbers.

Color circles used in the Ishihara color perception test, which has been used since 1917, usually consists of dots in shades of red, green, yellow, blue and orange. While people with normally colored eyes will almost always be able to see a numeric figure created by contrasting dots in the middle of the circle. People with blind color will perceive it incorrectly or not at all.

There are several types of Colorblindness, the most common is the red-green colored chickens thatA inhibits the ability to distinguish shades of green or red. Two subtypes of red-green colors are deuteranopia and protanopia. People with Protanopia can usually say green from red, because green objects look less dark colored on them.

Mostly it seems that men are influenced by red-green color. Scientists believe it is because the red-green-green gene is on chromosome X. Men have only one X chromosome, while women have two. While women may inherit a defective gene that leads to red-green-green color, they will usually have it on only one X chromosome. The unaffected gene on the other X chromosome usually ends in dictation of the woman's ability to see shades of red and green, so most scientists believe that women develop only red-green.

There are other types of color that are less common. Blue-yellow color withLeding affects the ability to see shades of yellow and blue. This type of viblity color usually occurs with the same prevalence in both sexes. Dichromacia is a type of color blindness in which one does not see colors at all, but perceives everything in shades of gray.

Photoreceptors inside the eye, known as cones and bars, are usually responsible for perceiving colors and light. The rods are generally responsible for the perception of light. There are two types of cones in a normal eye. One type is responsible for the perception of shades of yellow and blue, while the other type is responsible for the perception of shades of green and red. Colorblersstness usually occurs when the eye is missing one or both of these types of cones.
