A test conducted by an eye hospital in Dubai to verify the link between diabetes and colour blindness came up with a surprising result.
?We knew that colour vision abnormality is common in diabetic patients but the studies conducted in other countries so far were inconclusive (in proving that diabetes can lead to colour blindess),? says Dr Imran Ansari, ophthalmologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Vision tests on colour blindness done by specialists in other countries have not provided any conclusive evidence, says Dr Ansari. (So far, there have been 30 studies published internationally on colour blindness and diabetes.) ?It has long been known that colour vision may become abnormal in diabetics and that this can come on early in the disease,? the Moorfield study notes.
