Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 65
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
