RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical usefulness and its own characteristic of Seohan computerized 85-hue test(SCHT-85) which was developed by authors. METHODS: SCHT-85 was performed in 89 normal subjects and 41 subjects with color defects diagnosed by Hardy-Rand-Rittler test(HRR test) and Farnsworth Munsell 100-hue test(FM 100-hue test) and total error scores(TES) according to the age in normal subjects and TES and central cap in subjects with color defects were determined. RESULTS: In normal subjects, TES of SCHT-85 according to the age were slightly higher than those of FM 100-hue test and highly correlated with those of FM 100-hue test. TES of SCHT-85 were increased according to the degree of abnormality in the HRR test in subjects with color defects. TES of SCHT-85 were lower than those of FM 100-hue test in normal subjects and higher than those of FM 100-hue test in subjects with color defects. In subjects with color defects, the central cap of SCHT-80 showed the tendency to yellowgreen-purple axis in protan and green-bluepurple axis in deutan compared to that of FM 100-hue test. CONCLUSIONS: SCHT-85 is highly correlated with FM 100-hue test and seems to be more useful to differentiate normal subjects and subjects with color defects than FM 100-hue test.
