Abstract

There are differences among official standards of testing
colour vision among different countries, conditioned by out-ofdate,
but still enforceable laws and codes. These standards refer to
professions in the maritime, air, rail and road traffic. The criteria for
testing colour vision are significantly more severe for professionals
involved in traffic. For complex diagnostics of colour vision disorder
(dyschromatopsia) there are a number of well-known diagnostic
methods and tests (of different cost, validity and year of production)
at disposal. The difference of diagnostic methods and tests improves
the detection of dyschromatopsia. The requirement is the correct
choice of tests, correct mode and correct interpretation of results
gained for each individual dyschromatopsia, i.e. profession.
