Abstract: Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency (CVD), is a visual condition in which an individual experiences difficulty distinguishing certain colors, particularly red, green, and blue. Early detection of color blindness is important for improving visual health awareness and supporting individuals in their daily activities. This study, titled “Color Blindness Detection Using Ishihara Plates,” focuses on identifying color vision deficiencies through the Ishihara Color Test, a widely used screening method based on specially designed pseudoisochromatic plates containing numbers, patterns, and symbols formed by colored dots. The proposed system aims to provide a simple, cost-effective, and user-friendly approach to preliminary color blindness detection. During the testing process, individuals are asked to identify the numbers or patterns displayed on a series of Ishihara plates. Their responses are analyzed to determine possible difficulties in distinguishing specific color combinations, particularly red-green variations. The system can record responses, evaluate test results, and generate an assessment indicating whether the individual may have normal color vision or a possible color vision deficiency. The approach helps reduce the time and effort required for preliminary screening while increasing accessibility to basic color vision testing. The study highlights the importance of digital screening solutions in promoting early identification and awareness of color vision deficiencies. However, the results are intended for preliminary screening and should be confirmed through a comprehensive examination by a qualified eye-care professional.
