Impact of congenital colour vision deficiency

Impact of congenital colour vision defects on occupation.

AIMS To investigate whether there is an association between congenital colour vision defects (CVD) and occupational choice and employment history, in order to inform the debate about the value of universal childhood screening for these disorders. METHODS Participants were 6422 males and 6112 females from the 1958 British birth cohort, followed from birth to 33 years, whose colour vision was a...

Personalized Simulations of Colour Vision Deficiency

Colour vision deficiency (CVD) affects the everyday lives of a large number of people, but it is difficult for others – even friends and family members – to understand the experience of having CVD. Simulation tools can help provide this experience; however, current simulations are based on general models that have several limitations, and therefore cannot accurately reflect the perceptual capab...

Impact of congenital colour vision deficiency on education and unintentional injuries: findings from the 1958 British birth cohort.

We investigated the association between CVD and education and accidents in the 1958 British birth cohort. 4 Despite attrition, people remaining were representative of the original sample, including with respect to colour vision status, the latter assessed in 12 534 children aged 11 years using the Ishihara test, with CVD being the inability to identify all 24 plates. Corrected distance acuity w...

Colour vision in vitamin A deficiency

suggests, as do our data, that responses to 1-x-OHD, and I-ax, 25-(OH)2D, are different enough to have important implications in treatment. Although hypercalcaemia remains a serious risk with all vitamin D derivatives the rapid reversal that is possible after I-x, 25-(OH),D, treatment makes this agent preferable to calciferol and possibly to 1-x-OHD,. This is particularly so in patients in whom...
