Ishihara color vision test.... The Ishihara test is a simple, convenient, and accurate procedure that detects total color-blindness, in addition to the red-green blindness prevalent in congenital blindness... The test assesses the perception of primary colors and shades of colors. The test booklet contains polychromatic plates made up of colored dots in numeric patterns. The numbers are one color, and the background dots are a different color.... Patients with color vision defects are unable to read the number, or they see a totally different number. A section of plates is included that contains colored line trails through a background of dots. These plates are designed to be used with children and adults who are unable to read numbers.
