  • Title: Color vision in dominant optic atrophy.
    Author: Mäntyjärvi MI, Nerdrum K, Tuppurainen K.
    Journal: J Clin Neuroophthalmol; 1992 Jun; 12(2):98-103. PubMed ID: 1629378.
    Abstract:
    The color vision of seven patients with dominant optic atrophy in four different families was studied with the following color vision tests: the Standard Pseudoisochromatic Plates part 2, the Lanthony Tritan Album, the Velhagen Pflügertrident plates, and Farnsworth Panel D 15, the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test, the Nagel anomaloscope, and the Besancon anomalometer. In the first family, the mother, one of the sons, and one of the grandsons were affected. The mother had a deutantritan defect; the son and the grandson both had an undefined red-green and a tritan defect. In the third family, the mother and the son were affected. Only the color vision of the son could be examined. He had a tritan defect. In the fourth family, the mother and the daughter were affected. Both had a deutan defect. In the diagnosis of dominant optic atrophy, it must be remembered that not only blue color vision defects occur, but that other kinds of defects are also possible.
