Color vision tests are done with charts that have one big circle made up of tiny dots of one certain color and within that circle there are dots of another color that make up a number. The colors of the dots vary from chart to chart and so do the numbers and letter.

To test whether your color blind your shown a series of charts and asked what number you see. If you cant make a distinction between the colors then you wont be able to see the number that the different colored dots make up within the circle, therefore being color blind. If you can see the number then your good.

How is vision measured and what methods are used to assess visual acuity and clarity?

Vision is measured using a standardized eye chart called the Snellen chart, which has rows of letters that decrease in size. Visual acuity, or sharpness of vision, is assessed by determining the smallest line of letters a person can read from a specific distance. Other methods to assess visual clarity include using a visual acuity test, contrast sensitivity test, and visual field test.

What is the purpose of a snellen chart?

The Snellen chart is the chart used by opticians to measure the sharpness of your eyesight (or visual acuity). It was developed by Dr Hermann Snellen in 1862. It has several lines of letters which get smaller as you go down the chart. The chart is placed level with the eyes at a distance of 20 feet (in Europe 6 metres). The standard reference eye is said to have 20/20 vision but this is not particularly good, any more than an IQ of 100 is good. If at 20 feet you can only just read letters that a person with "standard" eyes could read at 40 feet then you have 20/40 vision or if at 20 feet you can only just read letters that a standard eye could read at 60 feet then you have 20/60 vision and so on. If you can read the bottom line of very small letters on the Snellen chart your vision is an excellent 20/10. If you can read the third line from the bottom then it is a "standard" 20/20 which most people have fallen to by the age of 60.


Retinitis pigmentosa has an earlier and more serious effect on rod cells or on cone cells?

Retinitis Pigmentosa or RP, is a general name given to several similar conditions that result in the slow, progressive loss of photoreceptors. There are many different forms of RP, but the most typical forms effect the rod cells - those used for night and peripheral vision - first and as the disease progresses the cones - centeral acuity - are also lost restultung eventually in near total or total vision loss. There are some forms of RP that will progress differently and the rate of vision loss varies dramatically.
