Abstract excerpt
Transient tritanopia is a cone-cone post-receptoral interaction between short-wavelength (S) cones and medium (M) and long (L) wavelength cones. Blue cone monochromats have rods and S cones of normal sensitivity but lack functional M/L cones. All blue cone monochromats tested (n = 8) show significant amounts of transient tritanopia mediated by rods. Attempts to find a similar rod-S cone interaction while...
