Abstract
There are reports in the literature1,2,3,4that sensitivity to color as assessed by the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue Test5 deteriorates with age, except between the ages of 10 and 19 years, when it has been shown to improve. These age-related losses in color discrimination might be due to changes occurring in the retinal or neural systems, transparency of the media, or to the test methods themselves.
