Objective: To detect color vision deficiency in patients presenting with ocular complaints. Study Design: Descriptive Cross Sectional study (Case Series). Setting: Department of Outpatient, THQ hospital, Daska, Sialkot. Period: 01 January 22 to 30 June 22.

Patients who were uncooperative/non responsive, aware of their CVD, visually/mentally handicapped or deaf, had a medical history of systemic disease, on CNS medications, had ocular pathology (corneal, retinal disease, cataract). Color vision defects were detected using Ishihara pseudo isochromatic colored plates (38). All the data was entered and analyzed using Microsoft excel spreadsheet software. Descriptive data was represented as range and mean ± SD whereas the qualitative variables were represented as frequencies and percentages.
