Solutions For Diagnostics in Eye Care, Research, and Beyond. Is your Practice Using Advanced Color Testing?
Computerized color vision testing technology trusted by leading eye care practices ensuring professionals are equipped for precise diagnosis and treatment.
There are so many special tests that are available to eye care physicians today that being simple to integrate into protocol is vital. Many providers are searching for precision testing that is computerized and can be self-administered by that patient, in office or at home.
Traditional methods of color vision testing are not reimbursable, can miss up to 40% of early-stage eye conditions, and require testing conditions that can be difficult to replicate. Many diseases in eye care benefit from early detection and multiple ways to monitor progression.
The field of Oculomics brings future-focused diagnostics through ocular biomarkers. Without using the right tools, such as high resolution yet non-invasive imaging, practices may fall behind.
Our color vision test has been validated by the US Navy and other notable academic institutions. Waggoner CCVT is trusted in high-precision environments like surgical centers & specialty clinics and is accepted by the FAA, FBI, US Military Branches, and NASA.
Our advanced testing platform has 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity. The Waggoner CCVT can detect subtle changes in Tritan (blue) range that indicate early-stage conditions and systemic disease markers for diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinsons’s.
Seamlessly incorporates diagnostic color vision testing into your workflow. Waggoner CCVT provides simple PDF reports, easily shared and stored in your EMR.
By incorporating Waggoner's extended, standardized color vision testing, your practice not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also positions itself at the forefront of data-driven, whole-body health screening through the eyes.
Easy to interpret results in easily shared PDF format
Keep an eye on your patient’s progression for better, earlier treatment opportunities

"We absolutely LOVE the program. We use it on every patient who comes in the door. It is great to be able to switch to different tests as needed for adults or children. And the additional specialized tests come in handy time and time again. After using the Waggonver CCTV program, we cannot go back to standard Ishihara plates especially with the ability to save the tests and upload them into our EHR system to have on record each time they come in for a visit. This program has proved invaluable to our practice for the 4 years we have currently been using it."

"Indeed, the Waggoner CCVT is a great product, it uses well-known principles of color vision testing, which ophthalmologists are familiar with. It is a useful tool for color vision testing – not only in clinical setting but also in clinical trials – what the greatest benefit is – it is an automated and randomized, making it impossible for memorizing and cheating. In countries where color vision testing is required for driving license – it can replace classic methods of color vision testing as there is a print-out of the results which can be used as a documentation for legal purposes. The team behind the product are very passionate, and quick responders. Not at last – in regard of the current pandemics and the search for virtual solutions of ophthalmic procedures and patient’s status follow up – this product might become part of an online ocular exam."

"Thank you for the handling of my recent problems. You and Waggoner Diagnostics have been wonderful over the years. Sometimes the simplest of things such as great customer service go unmentioned and unappreciated. The Waggoner CCVT has been a significant aid in my diagnostic arsenal. Particularly the extended portion of the tests which helps with pathological acquired conditions. Reimbursements with CPT code 92283 have never been a problem. I have worked with many companies and vendors in the past and you are one of the best!"
Dr. Chuck Aldridge’s response (Purchased Vision Expo West): For me, the Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Test (Waggoner CCVT) has shown to be sensitive and reinforces the diagnosis (and level of severity). For example, when we look at an AMD patient, and even OCT this patient, all we have is an idea of structure. It doesn’t really tell me what is the function.
The Diopsys (also functional assessment) so far is running consistent with Waggoner Diagnostics’ color vision test. A patient may “look like” they have a fair amount of AMD in their OD but the Diopsys says the eye is functioning better than I would expect. Lo and behold, when I look at the color vision test, the tritan deficiency is less (or not even deficient) on the OD.
I had a Plaquenil patient this week. When you see the “flying saucer” on the OCT, we now know that’s a little later than desired. Ideally would like to pick up IS/OS separation, but to me that’s a challenge. I really like having the color vision to say - “all good”. I’m adding the multifocal ERG soon and that will help a lot with Plaquenil. We now know the deposits do NOT occur first under the fovea. So, getting some parafoveal info from color and MF ERG will be nice.
The same principle applies to glaucoma (optic neuropathy) and amblyopia. When doing color test monocularly, the results quickly validate the severity of the disease.

Storing approximately 100 test results is equal to approximately 1 megabyte. This means that 100,000 test results can be saved on 1 gigabyte.
My Waggoner CCVT won't connect to the internet.
1. Check that other applications on your computer have an internet connection. Check at least 3 different programs. Here are some suggestions:
2. Disable Windows Defender Firewall. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-ae/help/4028544/windows-10-turn-windows-defender-firewall-on-or-off)
3. Check proxy settings and troubleshoot internet connection as described here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/programs-cant-connect-to-the-internet/0ce72c11-58ae-4a15-9a01-b45af758eefd
4. Turn off your third-party Antivirus and/or Firewall and then check the internet connection on the Waggoner CCVT.
5. If possible, create new user in the Windows operating system and install Waggoner WCCVT for new user.
6. If none of the above worked, please contact your system administrator if you have one available and ask for assistance.
7. If none of the above worked, please contact your Internet Service Provider support
8. If none of the above worked, there's a possibility your system was infected with malware that prevents connection to the internet for other programs. We recommend doing a full system scan with your installed Antivirus.

Color vision testing is performed by eye care professionals to identify both genetic and acquired color vision deficiencies within their patients. Genetic deficiencies affect 8% of men and .5% of women. Acquired deficiencies affect up to 15% of the general population and help in identifying diseases such as glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, macular degeneration, and optic neuropathies. Acquired deficiencies can also be caused by 300+ substances at toxic levels such as Plaquenil.
