Colour Vision Tests
Colour vision testing assesses how accurately you can distinguish different colours and shades. At Central Coast Eyecare, we provide comprehensive colour vision assessments for general eye health, workplace requirements, licensing and specialised vision checks.
Some people are born with colour vision deficiency, while others may notice changes later in life due to eye or health conditions. Testing can be helpful for school-aged children, adults entering certain occupations, and anyone with concerns about how they perceive colour.
Our optometrists use a range of clinically appropriate tests including Ishihara test plates, Farnsworth D-15, Medmont C100 and Farnsworth lantern-equivalent assessments, to determine whether a colour vision deficiency is present, what type of colour vision defect it is, and how it may impact everyday tasks or occupational requirements. We take the time to explain your results clearly and provide practical guidance where needed.
Colour vision testing can also form part of a comprehensive eye examination, particularly where specific visual standards are required. We provide assessments for employment, aviation, maritime and licensing requirements—please let us know when booking so we can arrange the appropriate appointment.
We welcome patients from Gosford, Erina, Killarney Vale and Budgewoi for professional, trusted colour vision assessments.
