5. Arrangement Tests Flashcards
When are colour arrangement tests used- 3 cases?
- In clinical practice for occupational testing.
- Identification of moderate- severe defects.
- Allow to monitor acquired defects.
Colour arrangement tests are used in identification of what conditions?
Protan, deutan and tritan defects
Can colour arrangement test be used alone to pick up colour vision defects?
This test does not pick up minor defects hence, use a combination of tests along this.
How is Farnsworth D-15 test done?
- 14 caps are taken out of the box and the pilot cap is inside the box,
- The caps are arranged in a random order in front of the patients.
- Patients are asked to place caps inside the box in order to which cap is the most similar to the pilot cap and so on.
Patients have as much as time as they want to complete the test.
The results are then plotted in a recording sheet- starting from pilot cap joining the dots according to the numerical arrangement of caps by the patient.
What light is used in D15 TEST
Standard illuminant C
What is the working distance for D15 test?
No fixed working distance
What instruction should you give patients when touching the caps?
No to pick up or touch the caps from the top but pick caps from the side.
In the CIE diagram, describe what the colour confusion line indicates?
Colour confusion line indicates where the patient sees colours as the same if they have a CV defect.
What is the meaning of crossing effect in the D15 test?
Patients with colour vision defects will pick up colours that lie along the colour confusion line and the caps will not be numerically ordered.
Will anomalous trichromats pass the D15 test?
Yes, mild defects are not detected by this test.
Is D15 a screening test?
NO, not a screening test- but it is a follow up test done after Ishihara test
How is the severity identified in the D15 test ?
More then 2 crossings suggest a severe defect, less then 2 crossings suggest a moderate defect.
The caps used in the munsell system have what?
Have a munsell description
What are 3 properties of colours selected in the munsell system?
- Hue
- Value (brightness): from down to up the spin: brightness changes from black to white.
- Chroma (saturation): as you move outwards colours change from desaturated to saturated.
What system do D15 chips have?
Munsell system
Value 5, chroma 4.. but hue will change on each chip.
