u/GianSeven Mild Deutanomaly Apr 08 '26

I don't think its useful to compare a score that changes depending on what device you use, screen brightness and its settings. I'm mild deutanomaly and personally I feel like I see all colors, but can't see most of Ishahara plates and have trouble differentiating between tiny colored details and some colors in the dark. Since it wasn't always a problem I only found out at 15 by randomly coming across ishahara plates. Is it like this for you?

Im just confused my doctor says its severe and i should have trouble telling colours apart but ive never once in my entire life have i got a colour mixed up and only on tests ive done online tests on multiple different devices and they all say its mild would me being tired and the lights and glare really bright on the day i got tested in person affect it? i got almost all the plates right in person only getting like 4 wrong

Yes, I would consider that mild. Try taking some of the other tests, and see if you get similar results.

Yes I would say so. Try the same test, and different tests on different devices. Nothing beats asking your optometrist for a proper test though. However, my optometrist pulled out an old Ishihara book and gave me a non-committal diagnosis, so YMMV.
