Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to relate and compare the performance of 4 types of red-tinted contact lenses (CL) with the Total Error Score (TES) from the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test on colour deficient subjects. Only 6 subject with colour vision defect was tested in this study.

Description:

Six congenital CVD subjects were recruited. After colour vision screening using Ishihara plate, the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test was carried out to determine the type and severity of colour vision deficiency. Four types of red-tinted CL (Type A, B, C and D) were used. The performance of each of these lenses was determined through the comparison of error scores in the Ishihara test before and after wearing tinted contact lens on only the non-dominant eye. Then, the transmittance of each tinted CL was determined using a spectrophotometer. All these lenses were fitted on the subjects in one day where the subjects were given a 30-minute break for each intervention.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The lens which gives the best result in TES value	The highest TES value scored showed higher performance in colour vision. TES is an automated, generated value that calculates the number of tiles placed incorrectly and scales the value for uniform analysis. Average TES scores range from thirty to forty in series tests; while scores exceeding seventy can point to a marker for color blindness. Lower scores are intended to point to significantly increased color vision accuracy, as the TES score is directly correlated to the number of tiles incorrectly identified	30 minutes after lens adaptation. Lens is removed immediately after the assessment is completed.
Primary	The lens which gives the best performance in ES value	The highest score achieved using Ishihara Test indicates the best red tint lens. The current passing score is 12 correct of 14 red/green test plates (not including the demonstration plate). Research has shown that scores below twelve indicate color vision deficiency, and twelve or more correct indicate normal color vision, with 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity	30 minutes after lens adaptation. Lens is removed immediately after the assessment is completed
