Purpose: To determine how Hardy-Rand-Rittler (HRR) colour vision testing correlates with visual functional and structural assessments in Cone and Cone-Rod Dystrophy.

Methods: Thirty-four Cone and 69 Cone-Rod Dystrophy patients diagnosed by electroretinography (ERG) at the Save Sight Institute in Sydney were included in a retrospective analysis. Each patient's HRR colour vision test scores were compared with markers of cone and rod system function including visual acuity (VA), ERG responses, changes on Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fundus Autofluorescence.

Results: The number of plates identified on HRR testing correlated with logMAR best-corrected distance VA; r(101) = -0.49, p < 0.0001. HRR scores correlated with markers of cone and macula function including OCT Ellipsoid Zone Gap Width, Central Macular and Outer Nuclear Layer Thickness, Full Field ERG 30 Hz flicker amplitudes, light adapted 3.0 b-wave amplitudes and Pattern ERG 15- and 30-degree p50 amplitudes.

Conclusion: HRR colour vision testing correlates with structural and functional measures in Cone and Cone-Rod Dystrophy. HRR colour vision testing provides a simple clinic-based option to monitor disease changes in Cone and Cone-Rod Dystrophy patients, especially when ERG testing is not available.

Vision loss affects more than 7 million Americans and impacts quality of life, independence, social functioning, and overall health. Common and dangerous conditions causing sudden vision loss include acute angle-closure glaucoma, retinal detachment, retinal artery occlusion, giant cell arteritis, and optic neuritis. Acute angle-closure glaucoma features ocular pain, headache, and nausea; treatment includes pilocarpine eye drops, oral or intravenous acetazolamide, and intravenous mannitol.

High-performance strain and corresponding fermentation process are essential for achieving efficient biomanufacturing. However, conventional offline detection methods for products are cumbersome and less stable, hindering the "Test" module in the operation of "Design-Build-Test-Learn" cycle for strain screening and fermentation process optimization. This study proposed and validated an innovative research paradigm combining computer vision with deep learning to facilitate efficient strain selection and effective fermentation process optimization.

Differences in the brain sensitivity to color responses may cause significant differences in the latency and amplitude of the electroencephalographic (EEG) component. This paper investigated the electroencephalography features of binocular color fusion and binocular color rivalry when watching stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) displays. EEG experiments were conducted on a conventional 3D display platform.
