25.01.2022 Another thing to check is each eye as it's extremely rare, but it's possible to have normal colour vision in one eye and colour blindness in the other eye. This is called unilateral dichromacy.

24.01.2022 People who don't have a colour vision inherited condition only one in 100 people scored 10 out of 10 on a colour vision test. Those high achievers tended to be aged between 31 and 35, while people in their 80s on average struggled to get four out of 10. So in perceiving shades of colour correctly, age is also a factor.

22.01.2022 The lenses were seven years in the research and development stage. They are manufactured in special vacuum coating chambers. Several layers are applied in the correct sequence, which is a patented process. Each layer must be perfect before the next layer is applied and so, if one layer does not adhere exactly then the whole process has to begin again with new lenses. Each batch is thoroughly inspected and must pass strict quality controls before being allowed out of the factory.

22.01.2022 Despite being a common condition, colour vision deficiency often goes undiagnosed, as patients don’t realise they aren’t seeing colours like other people do. The symptoms of colour blindness can vary widely among those affected People with mild symptoms may not be aware of their problem unless they are specifically tested. Parents or teachers may notice that a child has a problem learning his colours.

21.01.2022 What colour car to buy to increase your safety? Police say that white works as a safety colour for cars (C8), they also state that "for those who are red-green colour-blind, a red car in the distance is black or grey. White is great, yellow is better. I'd suggest that's also why most safety gear is now yellow rather than red or orange."

21.01.2022 At Colour Vision Optical we don’t like the term Colour Blind These patients are not Blind they just have a colour vision deficit. And we have the perfect solution for them in the form of our revolutionary iRo lenses. Did you know the original name for this condition was Daltonism? But now, we believe it is wrongly referred to as Colour blindness. So we use the word, IROCHROMATIC and it is how we refer to people who have a reduced sensitivity to distinguishing differences in certain colours

19.01.2022 The perils of cooking and eating food with a colour vision deficit People with colour vision deficits often have trouble cooking meat as they cant tell if it is cooked or not. Even food safety experts will tell you that colour isn’t the best way to judge when your steak is done. Or your roast, pork chops, turkey, or other meats. Your best bet is to get a thermometer and a chart that shows the right temperature for cooking different meats. For example, cook:... Chicken breast to 67C Hamburgers to 65C Medium-rare steak to 57C See more

19.01.2022 Find one of our colour vision testing clinics near you Our testing procedure involves first determining the type and degree of deficiency. We do this with various methods including computer based tests that each person will perform themselves. The time taken will vary but we always allow at least one hour, because after the correct lens is determined, the person will wear the lenses to see how they change and enhance their world of colours.

16.01.2022 It is well know that Rod Stewart is colourblind, so it is good to see he has a good support network /

16.01.2022 We love giving people the ability to see colours. The look on their faces as they experience it for the first time, it truly is an amazing moment. We recognise that there are many thousands of people around the world who do not see colours to the same level of intensity as they could, but now they no longer need to endure that feeling of disappointment

12.01.2022 Did you know that: In the Caucasian population 8% Males and 0.5% Females have IROCHROMATICTM vision and in Asian populations 5% Males? That relates to about 1 million people in Australia. iRo lenses will treat the majority of people who are IROCHROMATICTM specifically Deutans (sensitivity to green) and Protans (sensitivity to red) with either a mild, medium or strong deficiency. We recommend that all patients have a full eye examination to eliminate any other ocular pathology.... To assess for IROCHROMATICTM vision we use the renowned: Waggoner HRR Richmond HRR Ishihara Farnsworth Dichotomous D-15 See more

10.01.2022 Anyone with colour vision deficiency (CVD) will know the problem when confronted with reading a traditional map; they are much more difficult to read than they should be. Colours usually easily distinguishable to the human eye, such as red or green, appear very similar and maps that use spectral rainbow colour schemes are difficult to comprehend.
