This review gives a summary of all colour vision disorders (dyschromatopsias) and diagnostic methods and tests. Colour vision is inadequately treated in current literature with regard to the choice of diagnostic methods and the interpretation of results for a single disorder, which contributes to wrong dyschromatopsia diagnosing seen every day in specialist practice. Examination for colour disorders is usually outpatient and is carried out by ophthalmology or neurology departments or occupational health services under the supervision of an ophthalmologist to prevent misinterpretation of results and wrong occupational choices. The problem is very serious, and proper education should be able to provide guidelines for correct and early diagnosis of dyschromatopsia. As the examination is not well defined, it is very important to set unique criteria in diagnosing any single colour vision disorder.
