Keypoints

• Testing for colour vision is important in assessing periorbital cellulitis and its complications.

• Electronic Ishihara colour plates are used effectively for this purpose.

• Portable LCD devices are widely available and most of us already have one.

• We use hand‐held computers to store and present the plates to the patient as a quick and readily available method of testing colour vision.
