This is the same screening as our color blind test, which also explains how the plates work, how to read your result and what it can't tell you. For a specific type, try the Ishihara test (red-green) or the tritan test (blue-yellow).

What your result tells you

  • Do you have a deficiency? This is the part to trust. On any normal screen, the yes-or-no screening holds up about as well as a clinic's first-pass test.

  • Which type is it? Read this as a strong hint, not a label — red-weak (protan), green-weak (deutan), or blue-yellow (tritan). Mild red and green are the easiest to mix up.

  • How strong is it? You get a relative score, handy for comparing one attempt with the next. It isn't a calibrated clinical grade.

  • Need it for something official? For a driving licence, a job, or a medical question, have it confirmed by an eye-care professional (an anomaloscope or CAD test).
