Ishihara 38 Plates CVD Test
The original Ishihara color blindness test was introduced in early last century and since then, it is by far the most well known color vision deficiency test all around the world. Dr. Shinobu Ishihara from Japan produced three different test sets which are widely used and which all based on the same pseudoisochromatic plates.
This test is actually designed to be used in a booklet and is usually executed by an eye doctor. But I have made an onlince version of the test, available right here on Colblindor.
The online test is based on the 38 plates edition and will give you a little feedback at the end of the test. As this test is only made to check for red-green color blindness, any other form of CVD can not be detected. And at the end—if you like—you can even share your test result with your friends. This way they can see how you performed and try the test themselves if they like to.

Be aware: This test consist of scanned plates. The colors are not exactly the same as in the original version. You also have to consider, that every computer screen has different color settings and therefore the test results might alter between different trials.

The Ishihara test is also available as an Ipad app. The Ipad Ishihara makes the diagnosis of a CVD. Tetrachromats pass the test easily, anomals and anopes make a lot of mistakes. The on screen test seems as efficient as the booklet test (surprisingly). But it will not tell you the severity or the type of anomaly.For this you need a type of anomaloscope.

I just received yesterday and can now pass the ishihara test with about 34/38 plates accuracy. I could never see more than one or 2 before. Also I can now Play any color based matching games with impunity and total success. My world is definitely better with these oxy-iso lenses.

I passed. Although I obliterated through the “colorblind only” plates as well.
The only time I really get one of these wrong is this one plate in the WSJ article that supposedly has a 7, but it looks like pure gray dots to me. I believe it was a tritan test.
