AIMS: To determine whether acquired @entity227 in solvent exposed individuals are associated with @entity73 . METHODS: A sample of 82 painters and 38 other subjects were studied. @entity167 , drug, and smoking histories were obtained. Colour vision was tested using the Lanthony D-15-d colour vision test. @entity73 was measured using the Benton visual retention test, @entity2205 making A, and @entity2205 making B tests. Pre-morbid IQ was estimated using the National Adult Reading Test. Solvent exposure in all subjects was estimated using a previously validated, structured subjective assessment methodology. RESULTS: After exclusion of subjects with competing causes of colour vision impairment the final group of @entity1 numbered 78. There was a significant association on multiple linear regression between the mean colour confusion index (CCI) and three measures of @entity73 , the Benton visual retention test, @entity2205 making A, and @entity2205 making B tests after adjusting for the effects of age (or IQ as appropriate), @entity167 , and smoking. CONCLUSION: Acquired colour vision loss is associated with @entity73 in solvent exposed workers. However, given the prevalence of acquired colour vision losses in the adult population, colour vision testing is unlikely to be of value as a screening test.

Is colour vision impairment associated with XXXX in solvent exposed workers?
