Abstract

Color vision testing was performed on a group of ten black tyrosinase-positive albino patients and a group of normal subjects. Testing was accomplished by means of a Farnsworth-Munsell (F-M) 100-hue test and Nagel anomaloscope. As a group, the albino patients showed an increase in number of errors scored on the FM-100 hue test, without any specific axis in the majority of cases. Results on the Nagel anomaloscope showed a 'widening' into the red end of the Rayleigh equation. A possible explanation for this apparent widening is discussed, which emphasizes anticipated results of matching ranges obtained on extrafoveal cones.
