Results: The results of the current study showed that among 200 participants who were evaluated in this study, 8 of them (4%) suffered from color blindness. Among these 8 color blinded cases, 6 of them (75%) had the insight into their disease while 2 of them (25%) had no insight into their condition. Moreover, the results of evaluating the type of color blindness showed that 7 of them had green-red color blindness, while 1 of them had complete color blindness.
Conclusion: Comparing results of the current study with previous ones, we concluded that color blindness has a lower prevalence in our study population (4%), in comparison with the general population (8%). Moreover, obtained results about patients’ insight into their disease showed that a considerable percentage of cases (25%) had no insight to their disease, which indicates the importance of conducting color blindness screening test for medical students due to the importance of color vision in the field of medicine. |
