To determine reference values for the HMC anomaloscope (Heidelberg multi-color anomaloscope) of healthy subjects. %26lt;br%26gt;One hundred and thirteen healthy subjects were divided into four age groups: %26lt; 20 years of age (ten female, five male), 20-39 years of age (23 female, 15 male), 40-59 years of age (23 female, ten male) and %26gt; 60 years of age (nine female, 18 male). Match midpoint, matching range (MR) and anomaly quotient (AQ), according to the Moreland equation [blue (436 nm) + blue-green (490 nm) = cyan (480 nm) + yellow (589 nm)] and according to the Rayleigh equation [green (546 nm) + red (671 nm) = yellow (589 nm)] were determined. The neutral adaptation was done showing white light every 5 seconds in absolute mode and every 15 seconds in relative mode. %26lt;br%26gt;The mean match midpoint according to the Rayleigh equation was 43.9 +/- 2.6 scale units in absolute mode. It was highest between 20-39 years (45.2 +/- 2.2) and lowest in subjects %26gt; 60 years of age (42.2 +/- 2.2). The mean MR in absolute mode was 3.1 +/- 3.5 scale units with a maximum %26gt; 60 years (4.4 +/- 4.4). The MR in relative mode was between 1.6 +/- 1.9 (20-39 years) and 4.4 +/- 3.8 (%26gt; 60 years). The resulting mean AQ was 1.01 +/- 0.15 in both modes. The mean match midpoint of the Moreland equation was 51.0 +/- 5.2 scale units in absolute mode. It was highest between 20-39 years (52.5 +/- 5.7), and lowest in subjects %26gt; 60 years of age (48.7 +/- 3.6). The mean MR according to the Moreland equation was lower in absolute mode (13.4 +/- 15.6) than in relative mode (16.2 +/- 15.2). The mean resulting AQ was 1.02 +/- 0.21 in both modes. %26lt;br%26gt;The values of this study can be used as references for the diagnosis of red-green and blue perception impairment with the HMC anomaloscope.
