Abstract


Aim. To determine colour perseption differences between monozygotic and dizygotic twins by the maximum color contrast sensitivity (MCCS) test. Materials and methods. Our pilot study comprised of 5 monozygotic twin pairs and 3 dyzigotic twin pairs. All participants underwent ophthalmic examination, including MCCS test. Results. Based on MCCS test results, differences between twins, also males and females were statistically non significant. We found statistically significant difference in comparison of age groups: ≤40 years vs. ≥ 40 years (t=4,615; p=0.000; p<0,001). Conclusions: Colour contrast sensitivity is important visual function related with age. Differences between twins were statistically non significant.
