| Abstract: | Background: The C‐100 colour vision test has been shown to have a high validity for diagnosing the type of red‐green colour vision defect, however, there is little information on the repeatability of the test. This study examines the repeatability of the C‐100 in classifying the colour vision defect as either protan or deutan. Methods: The C‐100 was administered on two occasions to 58 subjects with congenital red‐green colour vision defects: The sessions were separated by a minimum period of 10 days. Results: The repeatability of the C‐100 was high with a kappa coefficient of agreement for diagnosis of 0.96. The few discrepancies were misclassifying protans as deutans. Conclusion: The C‐100 is a highly repeatable test in terms of separating protans from deutans. However, if a discrepancy occurs, it is more likely to be a protan misclassified as a deutan rather than vice versa. |
