The course of ocular disease can be monitored by the assessment and measurement of a number of visual functions. In the clinical situation, visual acuity and color discrimination are obvious and simple functions to assess. The relationship between color vision and visual acuity in eye disease has generally been discussed only in qualitative terms. This paper examines the correlation between visual acuity and color discrimination for a number of subjects exhibiting varying degrees of severity of senile macular degeneration.
