A simple modification of the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test for much faster assessment of color vision.

Purpose: The Farnsworth-Munsell (FM) 100-hue test is well known but is also time consuming, especially its analytical component. To reduce this needless time-waste during precious working hours, a simple modification was devised.

Design: Prospective, comparative, observational study.

A new computer-based Farnsworth Munsell 100-hue test for evaluation of color vision.

To evaluate a computer-based Farnsworth-Munsell (FM) 100-hue test and compare it with a manual FM 100-hue test in normal and congenital color-deficient individuals. Fifty color defective subjects and 200 normal subjects with a best-corrected visual acuity ≥ 6/12 were compared using a standard manual FM 100-hue test and a computer-based FM 100-hue test under standard operating conditions as recommended by the manufacturer after initial trial testing. Parameters evaluated were total error scores (TES), type of defect and testing time.

Evaluation of major depressive disorder in patients receiving chronic treatment with topical timolol.

Purpose: It was the aim of this study to evaluate the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in chronic glaucoma patients on a topical β-blocker (timolol).

Design: An observational case control study was performed.

Methods: The subjects recruited were divided into 3 groups.
