Checking color perception

In general, disturbances in color perception do not involve girls. Though, over 8-10% of boys have some form of chromatodisfunction, usually regarding shades of red and green. Complete color blindness is extremely rare.

In older children, the verification is done with the tables Ishihara, which contain numbers visible only to people with correct color perception.

Although chomatoanopsia is not a vital disability, it can create problems in a child’s everyday life as well as limit or even exclude the possibility to pursue occupations such as pilot, military, photographer, filmmaker, etc., where it is required to correctly identify colors.
