Description

  • D-15 dichotomous test was originally introduced in 1947 by Mr. Farnsworth. The D-15 test is a so called arrangement test. This type of color blindness tests are based on a set of colored plates or discs which have to be arranged in the correct order.
  • Colorblind people will have difficulties to arrange the given colors and make mistakes. Based on this mistakes and the resulting confusion vector, the type of your color blindness and as well its severity can be calculated. Some studies show only 53.5% sensitivity (but 100% specificity) compared to the “standard gold” anomaloscope.
  • The D15 set is a modification of the well-known FarnsworthMunsell 100 Hue Test. The D15 test is intended for classification instead of more time-consuming in-depth study of color vision defects using the 100-Hue test.
  • Each D15 set contains a reference disc and fifteen numbered discs, which make up an incomplete color circle. Following an attempt to sequentially arrange the discs by the patient, evaluation determines color perception or defects in deutan, protan or tritan axis discrimination.
