  • Title: Performance of genetically-colorblind individuals on a rapid dark adaptation test based on the Purkinje shift.
    Author: Kim V, Solomons NW.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1983 Feb; 56(1):251-8. PubMed ID: 6601793.
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to determine whether or not genetic colorblindness would limit performance on a rapid dark adaptation test (RDAT) which is based on the Purkinje shift in retinal sensitivity to lower wavelengths of light energy under mesopic/scotopic conditions of illumination. No differences in RDAT performance between age-equivalent colorblind and non-colorblind subjects was observed.
