Dichoptic Color Perception and the X‐Chrom Lens

Dichoptic color experiments were performed with color normals and with protanopes and deuteranopes. Different targets were presented to each eye in a stereoscope. Experiment 1 used homogeneous chromatic targets. Experiment 2 involved black and white photographs taken and viewed through various filters. Experiment 3 utilized a dichromat wearing an X‐Chrom lens. The experiments indicate that the cortical perception achieved by summing input of each eye when one eye has a filter in front of it may aid color discrimination for dichromats.
