rare. Now historical.

1833 W. Whewell in I. Todhunter William Whewell (1876) II. 153 The idiopt perceived scarcely any, if any, steady distinction between the two images.

1842 Edinb. Rev. 74 266 Those persons who have that peculiarity of vision which disables them from distinguishing colours, Mr Whewell proposes to designate by the name of Idiopts—a term not wanted, and one which, when submitted to the eye of a compositor, will infallibly part with one of its most essential letters.

1847 London, Edinb., & Dublin Philos. Mag. 30 153 I will hazard the supposition that the Astronomer Royal cannot distinguish colours, and is a genuine specimen of an idiopt.

1855 G. Wilson Res. Colour-blindness 6 The awkwardness of naming such parties chromato-pseudopts or idiopts, has been felt by all.

1873 J. Simms Nature's Revelations Character 165 Out of 1154 persons, whom he [sc. Dr. George Wilson] examined, he found that were over five per cent. who were idiopts, or colour-blind.

1988 T. Zaniello Hopkins in Age of Darwin iii. 59 To this day idiopts—the persons if not the word—have survived.
