Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate which clinical colour vision assessment fits best for preschool children and school children. The investigators are going to investigate children with a known colour vision affecting ocular disease, as well as healthy children without colour vision deficiency. The goal is to compare the usability and validity of three different clinical tests for colour vision assessment which are already well established in adults but not yet in children.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 4 Years - 10 Years
• Sex: all

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

80 children (girls and boys) at the age of 3-10 years without (40 children) or with (40 children) an ocular disease such as maculopathy, opticopathy or amblyopia will be included. Probands and patients are recruited from consultations at the eye clinic of the University hospital of Zürich. The ophthalmologic care is provided independently of the patient's decision whether to participate in the study or not. This decision is the own free will of the patient and his or her parents.

Inclusion-Criteria: * Children at the age of 3-10 years old * Informed Consent * Patient group: reduced monocular visual acuity with maculopathy, opticopathy or amblyopia. * Proband group: no disease with influence on the colour vision, age-related normal visual acuity Exclusion-Criteria: * High anomalies of refraction (myopia \< -6D, hyperopia \> +4D) * Status post eye surgery * Medication with suspected influence on the visual perception * Age below 3 years or beyond 10 years.
