Explore the world in its true hues with our expert assistance.
In-Depth Colour Assessment
Our colour vision screening employs advanced methods to assess how your eyes perceive and differentiate various colours. Through this process, we identify any discrepancies in your colour perception that could indicate a colour vision deficiency.
What Our Colour Vision Screening Involves:
- Personalised Consultation: We begin with a conversation to understand any challenges you’ve faced regarding colour perception. This discussion helps tailor the subsequent screening based on your individual needs.
- Advanced Colour Evaluation: Utilising specialised tests like the Ishihara Plates, Farnsworth Lantern, or the newer computer-based assessments, we analyse your ability to recognise and differentiate between colours. These tests are quick, non-invasive, and conclusive.
- Comprehensive Guidance: Post-screening, we discuss the results with you in detail. In cases where a colour vision deficiency is identified, we explore the implications and provide advice on coping mechanisms, career counselling, and lifestyle adaptations.
Empowering You Through Understanding
Knowledge about your colour perception capabilities empowers you to make informed decisions in your personal and professional life. Our optometrists are here to provide that insight and support you at every step.

Embrace life in full colour, with clarity and confidence.
Anyone facing challenges in distinguishing colours, or individuals pursuing careers where colour differentiation is crucial (e.g., electricians, pilots, graphic designers), should consider screening. It’s also wise for parents to have their children screened to rule out colour vision deficiencies early in life.
Most colour vision deficiencies, particularly those inherited genetically, are lifelong. While there’s no cure, coping strategies can significantly help manage the condition. For acquired colour vision issues, resolving the underlying cause can sometimes improve colour perception.
The screening is relatively quick, typically requiring approximately 30 minutes. However, we ensure not to rush, providing adequate time for a thorough assessment and discussion.
