By Dr Bernard Blais MD

The purpose of this "cookbook" on color vision is to provide a current, updated manual on the field of color vision from the occupational medicine and environmental medicine point of view. The book reviews the color vision tests utilized currently and how the examination is performed with its diagnostic significance. A major text by Jennifer Birch 1993 is now out of print which contains most useful source of this information. These sections have been utilized in order to maintain this very important information for the less specialized personnel. There are many good reference sources for the ophthalmologist, optometrist and visual researchist but none available to the primary care physicians and nurses who usually did not received good training in their basic technical education. This book serves as a working manual for the Occupational M.D. and other professionals involved in Occupational Medicine. 84 Pages with over 24 color photos and illustrations.

Topics include

Incidence of Color Defectives, Indications for Color Vision Testing, Causes of Color Deficiency, Essential Components of Color Vision Testing, Equipment Performance, Trichromatic Theory, The Fundamental Response Curves, Color Deficiency, Attributes of Color, Color Appearance, CIE Color Space, Types of Tests, Examination Procedure and Design, Tests in Current Use, Pseudoisochromatic Plates (PIP), Arrangement Tests, Computer Controlled Display, Genetic Testing, Vocational Tests, and Clinical Test Batteries
