Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Testing
At The Vision Development Team, we offer Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Testing (WCCVT) to help evaluate how accurately you perceive and distinguish colors.
The WCCVT is an advanced digital color vision assessment designed to identify different types and degrees of color vision deficiency. Testing can help provide a clearer understanding of your color perception and whether additional evaluation may be recommended.
What Is the WCCVT?
The Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Test is a digital testing system used by eye care professionals to evaluate color vision. It includes screening and diagnostic assessments designed to identify several types of color vision deficiencies.
Unlike a basic color screening, the WCCVT can provide more detailed information about the type and severity of a color vision deficiency.
What Can Color Vision Testing Detect?
WCCVT testing can evaluate several types of color vision deficiencies, including:
- Protan: Reduced sensitivity to red light
- Deutan: Reduced sensitivity to green light
- Tritan: Reduced sensitivity to blue light
Color vision deficiencies may be inherited or, in some cases, acquired later in life. A comprehensive assessment can help determine whether a deficiency is present and provide additional information about its characteristics.
Who May Benefit From Color Vision Testing?
Color vision testing may be recommended for patients who:
- Have difficulty distinguishing certain colors
- Have previously failed a color vision screening
- Need color vision evaluation for occupational requirements
- Require a more detailed assessment of their color perception
- Have experienced changes in their color vision
The WCCVT also includes testing options used in professional and occupational settings, including specific testing protocols accepted by the FAA.
What to Expect During Your Color Vision Test
The WCCVT is performed digitally and presents a series of color-based visual tasks. Your responses allow the system to evaluate your ability to distinguish colors and identify patterns associated with different types of color vision deficiency.
Our team will review your results with you and explain whether any additional evaluation or follow-up may be appropriate.
