👁️ Ishihara Colour Blind Test
Quick answer: this is an Ishihara-style screening test, not a medical diagnosis. It is useful for a rough check, especially for common red-green colour vision issues.

Screens are useful for a rough check, but a printed Ishihara-style test is cleaner if you want to double-check properly at home. SmartKoala may earn from qualifying purchases.
Look at the dot plate and pick the number or path you can see best. Keep your screen brightness normal. Don't squint and don't overthink it.

6How to read the result
The rough idea: if you miss one plate, it might just be your screen or a bad guess. If you miss several, especially the red-green style plates, it is worth getting a proper eye test.
But the catch is simple. A phone screen is not a clinical chart. Brightness, warm mode, cheap displays and sunlight all mess with colour.
What this test is actually good for
- a quick self-check
- a rough screening tool before a proper eye test
- checking whether red-green contrast is where you get caught
It is not a diagnosis. If the result looks off, book an optometrist and use a real test under controlled lighting.
