INFLUENCE OF HYPOXIA ON COLOR VISION

Abstract

The color vision of 25 normal subjects was tested by means of an anomaloscope at the ceiling altitude of 'ascents' of 5000 to 7000 m in a low- pressure chamber. The mean data show a decrease in acuity of color discriminations for all 3 receptor systems, especially the blue-sensing organism. The depression of discrimination becomes more marked with increasing altitude.
