So, I am wondering how well chinchillas can see?

There was a thread here that I found (it was how I found the forum in fact) which had an article from 1949 talking about chinchilla eyesight. However, I was wondering if anyone knew of more recent studies of their visual acuity, whether they can see in any colours, etc.

Our chinchillas are happy housepets, but my wife is thinking of seeing whether they can be trained to react to visual cues, and the first step is figuring out whether they even can see the cues!
