Abstract Visual perception disorders diagnostics is a set of complex medical procedures. Those designated to diagnose color vision, particularly Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test, are in most cases performed manually, thus not only being time-consuming but also prone to errors and inaccuracy. Therefore, such manual methods are not used as often, even though they are powerful in nature. This paper proposes a software-based approach to color vision disorders diagnostics which automates and simplifies the medical examination procedure, and allows for almost immediate results analysis. Its utilization is not only limited to hospital environment as the software application can also be deployed on mobile devices. Results of statistical analysis show that use of the designed software for color vision disorders diagnosis provides significantly better results in terms of accuracy and speed. With an user-friendly interface, the application could become a tool which would enable patients to be examined on more frequent basis so as to see trends of disorder progression, and thus being more responsive in tailoring the medical treatment.
