Binocular Filters as an Aid to Color Discrimination by Dichromats
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of binocular filters in enhancing color discrimination for dichromats.
Developed a pair of glasses using one magenta and one cyan eyepiece
Investigated the impact of these filters on color perception
Conducted assessments of color discrimination among dichromats
Reported a modest improvement in color discrimination among users of the glasses
Discussed the implications of these changes for everyday visual tasks
Abstract
Abstract A method is described for improving color discriminations in dichromats by means of glasses with one magenta and one cyan eyepiece. A modest improvement is reported and discussed.
