Evaluation of the Waggoner computerized D15 color vision test using an iPad device.

The W-D15 test, a computerized variant of the F-D15 test, is used to determine whether an individual with a color vision defect can safely perform color-related tasks. This study evaluated the performance of the W-D15 test using an iPad. Fifty-nine color normal and 61 color vision defect subjects participated. Participants were screened based on the Ishihara, City University Test, and Waggoner PIP24 tests. Different failure criteria of the D15 tests were considered. The pass/failure agreement between the two tests was relatively appropriate, with a -coefficient ≥0.8, for all failure criteria. The W-D15 could be an appropriate substitute for F-D15 using an iPad.
