Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the colour discrimination defect as an early indicator of diabetic retinopathy. The subjects were of two groups. Group-I consisted of individuals with diabetes mellitus type-II and group-II consisted of non-diabetic individuals. Both the groups were between 30-70 years of age with corrected acuity of vision and without diabetic retinopathy. They were subjected to colour discrimination test using Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test. The results revealed that more number of subjects were affected with blue-yellow axis and lesser number were affected with red-green axis in group-I compared to group-II. This study confirms that colour discrimination defect is one of the early changes of diabetic retinopathy
