Colour Vision Deficiencies: causes and assessment

R195.00

The webinar will first present an introduction to normal human colour vision before describing the common colour vision deficiencies (CVDs) that result in the CVD sufferer having abnormal colour vision. The causes of common CVDs will be discussed as well as the techniques that are used to diagnose and assess their type and severity. Red-green CVDs, which are most commonly found in males, will be covered in detail in addition to rarer forms including the monochromacies, and other CVDs caused by disease

Description

Professor Andrew Stockman is the Steers Chair of Investigative Eye Research at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, and part-time Quishi Chair Professor at Zhejiang University. Andrew is an international authority on normal and abnormal visual function with expertise in physiological optics, colour vision, rod vision, visual adaptation, temporal sensitivity, retinal processing, clinical vision and display and film colour. He is especially well known for his work on cone spectral sensitivities and luminous efficiency functions, which have been adopted by the Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE) as international standards. Other important work includes measurements and models of cone and rod temporal sensitivity and delay and the identification of slow and fast rod and cone signals, including an inverted S-cone signal that contributes to luminance; measurements of visible distortion that allow the performance of the visual system to be dissected into early and late stages, measurements and models of light adaptation; and a substantial body of clinical work on understanding and modelling the effects of molecular loss in eye disease. Andrew is also the principal author of the Colour & Vision Research Laboratories website at www.cvrl.org, a well-known and widely-used resource for both science and industry and is Chairperson of the new Commission Internationale de l’Écla
