Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of congenital red-green color vision defects in the elementary school students of Zahedan in 2012.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1000 students with a mean (±SD) age of 9.0 (±1.4) years were selected randomly from a large primary school population. Color vision was evaluated using the Ishihara pseudoisochromatic color plates (38-plate edition). A daylight fluorescent tube was used as an illuminant C equivalent (i.e., 860 lux, color rendering index greater than 92, and color temperature = 6500 K). Having more than three misreadings on the test was considered a failing criterion. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 17 software using χ2 tests.
Results: Nine students (0.9%) made more than three errors on the Ishihara test. Based on this criterion, the prevalence of red-green color vision deficiency in girls and boys was 0.2 and 1.6% (p = 0.02), respectively.
Conclusions: The prevalence of red-green color vision deficiency was found to be significantly lower in Zahedan than comparable reports in the literature.

The adhesion of raindrops on car rearview mirrors poses a significant threat to traffic safety due to the resulting blurred vision. Transparent superhydrophobic coatings have emerged as a potential solution to this problem. However, the development of transparent superhydrophobic coatings is often hampered by complex preparation procedures, high costs, and limited substrate compatibility, rendering them unsuitable for practical applications.

This study investigates colour vision deficits in children with amblyopia by employing a computerized colour vision test with varying stimulus sizes (1°, 2°, and 3°). The aim is to delineate the impact of amblyopia on colour discrimination in children and to determine the effectiveness of the computerized colour vision test in detecting these deficits. The study involved 40 participants, divided into 20 children with amblyopia and 20 without amblyopia (control group).

Given the integration of color emotion space information from multiple feature sources in multimodal recognition systems, effectively fusing this information presents a significant challenge. This article proposes a three-dimensional (3D) color-emotion space visual feature extraction model for multimodal data integration based on an improved Gaussian mixture model to address these issues. Unlike traditional methods, which often struggle with redundant information and high model complexity, our approach optimizes feature fusion by employing entropy and visual feature sequences.

Gabapentin (GBP), a pharmaceutical widely used for seizures and neuropathic pain, has emerged as a contaminant in global aquatic environments, raising concerns about its ecological impact. This study investigated the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of GBP (0, 1, 10, 1000 μg/L) on visual development in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Behavioral assays showed that GBP exposure enhanced light sensitivity, as indicated by a significant increase in total travel distance (TTD) in all exposure groups compared to controls.
