Abstract: Disclosed is a method of quantitatively assessing whether the progress of an operation that enlarges a patient's clear vision region is satisfactory. A chromatic vision measurement is carried out on a patient who has received an operation that enlarges the patient's clear vision region, such as an operation that inserts a multi-focal lens into an eye to treat cataracts. The chromatic vision measurement data is compared, i.e., quantitatively assessed, with reference data (reference data obtained by carrying out chromatic vision measurements on a large group of people), in a quantitative assessment means. It is thus possible to objectively and appropriately assess whether a patient's post-operative progress is satisfactory.

Abstract: A color perception test has a color matching processor that executes a color matching processing on a color monitor, and an image display controller that displays two or more images for color perception test in order on the color monitor on which the color matching processing was done. When displaying each image for color perception test, a color perception test is done in a state that one of its hue, brightness, saturation and display time is changed and the other elements are fixed. Since the color perception tester has the color matching processor, colors of the image are not changed with passage of time different from color printed one, and correct test can be done thereby. If the test is periodically done on some examinee, a degree of decreasing color perception function by aging can be exactly known.
