Prevalence Of Colour Vision Deficiency Among Medical Students And Health Personnel.

R Balasundaram1, Sagili Chandrasekhara Reddy2.   

Abstract

A survey of colour vision deficiency among 1427 medical students and healthcare personnel in Seremban revealed a prevalence of 3.2% with a marked male predominance (males 6.7%, females 0.4%). In view of the potential difficulties faced by such personnel in clinical works, early detection of this deficiency allowed appropriate counselling.
