Colorblindness is not a rare phenomenon and it’s much more common than many would ever think it to be. According to colourblindawareness.org, approximately 1:12 men and 1:200 women are affected by it to some degree. This may mean that their eyes have a total and complete inability to see color or, more commonly, a decreased ability to see and/or differentiate between colors. It’s usually not an actual type of blindness, but rather a perceptive deficiency in color vision. While most people are born color blind and inherit the condition genetically, there are other ways to acquire it later in life.
Other causes include accidents and traumatic experiences that result in brain or retinal damage and exposure to UV light that damages the retina. People often develop color vision deficiency later in life and its been associated with age related macular degeneration, certain diseases, drugs, and exposure to chemicals over time. Furthermore, there are different types and levels of color blindness that are associated with certain colors that an individual has difficulty discriminating between. One common example is red-green color blindness, where people have a hard time differentiating between shades of red and green, and there are many other types like this.
It’s important to note that if you think you’re losing your vision you should have a qualified medical professional check it out, because once eyesight starts to fade it’s hard and rare to get back.
