Color Vision Test for Early Detection of Antiepileptic Drug Toxicity
Neurol 48:1394-1397, Bayer,A.U.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
There was a significant correlation between signs of neurotoxicity induced by phenytoin or carbamazepine and blue-yellow color vision deficiencies.In contrast,we found no correlation between these signs of neurotoxicity and the drug serum concentrations.Color vision testing in epileptic patients treated with phenytoin or carbamazepine appears to be a sensitive method for early detection and monitoring of clinical neurotoxicity.
