A group of diabetic patients were found to have losses in green‐blue colour discrimination and significantly early transition times in dark adaptation. Analysis showed that the green‐blue losses were sgnificantly related to early transition time. Pre‐receptoral factors cannot account for these results but selective degeneration of the blue cone mechanism can. The results are in agreement with a proposal of rod‐blue cone linkage after Trezona (1970).
