In children with a visual handicap, colour vision testing may provide additional cues to diagnosis. Some information is given by pseudo‐isochromatic plates. More informative are the arrangement tests, especially the Panel D‐15. These tests can be used also in cases with severely reduced visual acuity. In suspected achromatopsia, the scotopic spectral sensitivity can be revealed by the D‐15 test, the anomaloscope, or measuring the spectral sensitivity.
