Abstract
In a previous study, one of us demonstrated weak colour deficiencies in Homonymous Hemianopsias (HH). In this paper, the Wald-Marré method was utilized to elicit colour mechanisms in HH. The blue mechanism was missing most of the time in the central as well as in the blind areas. However, some weak responses of the Green and Red mechanisms were obtained in the blind areas. This paper presents the results of our investigations.
