Abstract
Examination of a great number of patients resulted in the depth localisation theory. The combination of this theory with the fixation-eccentrisation theory is clinically useful: acquired colour vision defects can be subdivided by the fixation mode and by signs of receptor damage. There are indications that in multiple sclerosis the slowly progressive cases present with more receptor damage than the acute cases.
