Purpose: The Lanthony desaturated panel D-15 test (Desaturated test) consists of 16 caps, similar to the Farnsworth dichotomous test (Panel D-15). The color caps of the Desaturated test are lower chroma and higher value than those of the Panel D-15. We evaluated the Desaturated test in anomalous trichromats with congenital red-green color vision defects. Methods: We examined 162 anomalous trichromats (155 males and 7 females) diagnosed by a Nagel Type I anomaloscope. All participants had the pass results in the Panel D-15, 1.0 or better of bestcorrected visual acuity and no ocular disease. Comparisons of the Desaturated-test pass/fail results between protanomalous and deteranomalous trichromats were performed using a chisquare test (with significance at p<0.05). Odds ratio (OR) was calculated. The Desaturated-test pass/fail results were compared between anomalous trichromats aged 7-10 years, and aged 11 or older. Results: Nineteen out of 54 (35.2%) protanomalous trichromats, and 19 out of 108 (17.6%) deteranomalous trichromats had the fail results in the Desaturated test. The discrepancy was significant (OR 2.50, 95% confidence interval 1.1-5.7, p=0.013). The fail ratio in anomalous trichromats aged 7-10 years was much higher than that in anomalous trichromats aged 11 or older. Conclusion: Our results suggest that protanomalous trichromats compared to deteranomalous trichromats, and anomalous trichromats aged 7-10 years compared to aged 11 or older are likely to have the fail results in the Desaturated-test.

Purpose: In Japan the medical grant-aid program was introduced in April 2006, for child patients under 9 years old who need glasses for treatment. Since then, we have tried to fully explain the new program to child patients and their parents. We also have given a hand with its procedure, such as completion of the application form and check of documents attached to it, as well as we started for child patients and their parents in the previous medical grant-aid program in 2003. To grasp the actual conditions of the medical grant the applicants receive, a questionnaire survey was carried out.Subjects and Methods: Subjects were 274 applicants for medical grant: 55 in the previous program and 219 in the new program. The 55 applicants applied at 10 months to 8 years old (mean age: 4.2±2.1 years) during the period of 2003 to March 2006. The 219 applicants applied at 1 to 8 years old (mean age: 5.5±1.8 years) during the period of October 2006 to March 2007. The questionnaire was about the amount of medical grant each of the applicants received, time period taken for receiving the grant, and services offered at Social Welfare Offices in the previous program or in the new program.Results: Of 274 questionnaire sheets, 118 (43.1%) were returned: 17 (31.0%) of 55 on the previous program and 101 (46.1%) of 219 on the new program. The application method is explained to applicants after new program. However, there are almost no parents who know in advance. Of the 17 applicants, 13 successfully received their grants, but 6 failed to. Of the 101 applicants, 98 received their grants, but 3 failed to. Both in the programs, the applicants received about 70% of the amount of medical grant they demanded. It took 4.5 months to receive the grant in the previous program, but only 2 weeks to one month in the new program. Although there were many difficulties to get grant under previous program, there became more successful and easier under new program.Conclusion: The medical grant-aid program is not yet well known to child patients who need glasses for treatment and have requirements for application. The medical staffs should actively try to make the program known to the child patients and to help them to apply for the medical grant.

Tokyo Medical College (TMC) plates and Okuma plates were evaluated as tools to classify degrees of color deficiency. These two pseudoisochromatic plates are most widely used in Japan. One hundred and twenty-eight protanopes, 427 deuteranopes, 187 protanomals and 445 deuteranomals, that is, 1187 cases in total were tested using several kinds of pseudoisochromatic plates, Panel D-15 test, JFC lantern test and anomaloscope. The results of TMC plates and Okuma plates were studied. Generally speaking, classification of degree with TMC plates was significantly more severe than that with Okuma plates. For instance, 96.9% of protanopes and 74.5% of deuteranopes were diagnosed as severe degree by TMC plates, while by Okuma plates, only 30% of protanopes and 53% of deuteranopes were the cases. Consequently, classifications of the two plates are inconsistent in majority. It is because the basis of classification differs from each other; hue discrimination in yellowred to yellow-green in TMC plates, while grade of desaturation in neutral colors in Okuma plates. Furthermore, the color differences used in the pseudoisochromatic plates are not sufficient enough to separate severe, moderate and mild ones, therefore individual variation or slight changes of test condition are likely to make the results confusing. After all, pseudoisochromatic plates alone are not valid for classification of degrees of color deficiency. Some other color vision tests should be combined for the purpose.
以东京医学院(Tokyo Medical College, TMC)版和Okuma版作为色差程度的分类工具。这两种伪等色版在日本应用最为广泛。采用几种假等色板、Panel D-15试验、JFC灯笼试验和异常镜对128个原异构体、427个氘异构体、187个原异构体和445个氘异构体共1187例进行了检测。研究了TMC板和Okuma板的实验结果。总的来说,TMC板的分类程度明显比Okuma板严重。例如,TMC板诊断为重度的原烷和氘烷分别为96.9%和74.5%,而Okuma板诊断为重度的原烷和氘烷分别为30%和53%。因此,两个板块的分类在大多数情况下是不一致的。这是因为分类的依据各不相同;TMC印版中黄红到黄绿的色相差别,而Okuma印版中中性色的去饱和等级。此外,假等色板所用的色差不足以区分严重、中度和轻度,因此个体差异或试验条件的微小变化可能使结果混淆。毕竟,假等色印版本身是不适合色差程度的分类的。其他一些色觉测试应该结合起来。
