Abstract

The Lanthony D15 desaturated test was used to compare color vision in sickle cell patients with 20/20 visual acuity and peripheral lesions of sickle cell retinopathy with normal controls. Sickle cell patients had significantly higher Lanthony error scores and significantly more blue-yellow and mixed color vision defects than controls. Among patients with sickle cell anemia (SS), Lanthony and Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue test scores were significantly correlated, and both tests showed good agreement in identifying the presence or absence of a color defect. These results suggest that the Lanthony D15 test may be a useful clinical tool to identify blue-yellow color defects, especially because of its brevity and simplicity of administration.
