Understanding the Anomaloscope Test

The first anomaloscope blindness test was developed in the 20th century, and since then, it is the most accurate blindness test used by eye specialists worldwide.

An anomaloscope test is based on a colour match. The user needs to match the same color of two different light sources. On the left side, you have a yellow color that can be adjusted in brightness. The right side consists of red and green light; the user needs to match the left and right site with an equal proportion of color.

As every color on a computer display is made up of the three base colors, red, green, and blue, an anomaloscope can’t be reproduced online.
