The Ishihara test screens for colour vision deficiency using

  • A.an anomaloscope requiring a precise colour match
  • B.a set of caps to be arranged in hue order
  • C.a spectrophotometer measuring the observer's eye
  • D.pseudoisochromatic plates of coloured dots

Answer: D

Correct answer: pseudoisochromatic plates of coloured dots

The Ishihara plates present a figure in dots that differ from the background in hue but not in lightness or size, so it can only be seen by using colour. Confusion colours are chosen so that a deficient observer sees a different figure or none. It is a fast screening test and identifies the type only broadly.
