A SURVEY OF METHODS USED IN ADMINISTERING PSEUDO-ISOCHROMATIC TEST PLATES FOR COLOR VISION

Abstract

The object of this investigation was to find the errors in administration of the pseudo-isochromatic plates which had contributed to the unreliability of the previous tests. The data were obtained by interview with 27 applicants who had passed their physical examinations for Submarine Service but failed a brief, properly administered screening test for color vision at the Submarine Base. As generally administered and interpreted in the Navy the A. O. test is concluded to be unreliable and largely ineffective as a test for color vision.
