[The use of the panel D-15 test in estimating the convergence points for deuteranopia].

In order to study the deuteranopic convergence points we compared the patterns of the simulated panel D-15 test with the actual data from 73 cases of deuteranopia. It was found that 39 of the 73 cases matched one of the four simulation patterns perfectly while another 25 cases showed similar patterns. Of the 64 cases, 9 cases matched the simulated pattern obtained when the x chromaticity coordinates were between 1.1810 and 1.4319, 42 cases when they were between 1.4320 and 2.2588, 7 cases when they were between 2.2589 and 3.6255 and 6 cases when they were between 3.6256 and 4.6572. These results confirm that there are significant individual differences in the convergence points of deuteranopes and support the theory that the confusion lines meet at a specific point rather than running parallel.
