Abstract

In 12 long-standing insulin-dependent diabetics with background diabetic retinopathy their 100-hue colour vision scores were positively related to the degree of retinopathy and negatively to fasting blood glucose levels. However, the 100-hue colour vision scores and types were not significantly different from those of normal subjects matched for age, sex, and social class.
