Color matching and Stiles-Crawford effect in central serous choroidopathy. 1978

V C Smith, and J Pokorny, and K R Diddie

Color matching and Stiles-Crawford effect measurement were performed in 3 patients with central serous choroidopathy, 2 normal and 1 deuteranomalous trichromats. The color matches in the affected eye of each patient were displaced to red and could be explained by the hypothesis that the visual photopigments are in reduced optical density due to receptor disorientation caused by serous elevation of the sensory retina. The Stiles-Crawford effects of the affected eyes was abnormal confirming the hypothesis of receptor disorientation. The type III color defect accompanied by pseudo-protanomaly ascribable to receptor disorientation as occurs in central serous choroidopathy may be differentiated from the type III defect without pseudo-protanomaly.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008027 Light That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range. Light, Visible,Photoradiation,Radiation, Visible,Visible Radiation,Photoradiations,Radiations, Visible,Visible Light,Visible Radiations
D008266 Macula Lutea An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid. (From Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Lutea, Macula,Luteas, Macula,Macula Luteas
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002825 Chorioretinitis Inflammation of the choroid in which the sensory retina becomes edematous and opaque. The inflammatory cells and exudate may burst through the sensory retina to cloud the vitreous body. Chorioretinitides
D003117 Color Vision Defects Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.
