Color Perception for Vision Clarity
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
In this experiment, subjects will view shapes on a screen with varying colors and be asked to focus their eyes on the shapes. The shapes will look as though they are jumping to random distances away from the eye. As the subjects focus their eyes on the shapes, the investigators will measure the focus of their eyes using a device called a wavefront sensor. This device uses infrared light to measure the optical properties of the eye in real time. Our goal is to find out how well the eye focuses on different colors. Our broad goal is to better understand how the eye focuses because that process is a major part of having clear and good vision.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Trial Overview
Researchers are studying how well eyes with color blindness can focus on shapes of different colors shown on a screen. Eye focusing will be measured using a special device while participants look at these shapes.

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Each participant undergoes all experimental conditions, in a within-subjects design. Each intervention corresponds to a different stimulus color. The 4 colors are: 1) grayscale (L, M, and S-cone modulation), 2) L and S cone modulation only, 3) L and M cone modulation only, and 4) M and S cone modulation only.
