Once, when I heard
about color blindness, what comes to mind is a world of gray as blackand white
television. I do not think a few people who think so. When I came to know that my high school
also color blind. I was certainly surprised, my parents even more. I
was sometimes difficult to distinguish the matching colors.But I think it's
because of my color vocabulary dictionary less. Anyway I see this world
full of color. So it never occurred that I was color blind. Kinda
hard to also convince my parents that I could still distinguish the color, not
color blind or monochromacy total.
Many do not know, that's a lot of kinds
of color blindness. And monochromacy case is the rarest. One of the
more detailed and scientific explanation can be found at the Wikipedia article
on Color Blindness. I own including patients dichromacy protanopia, that
dysfunction of one of the three primary color receptors, in my case is in red.
Color blindness is generally caused due
to heredity. Other causes include eye nerve damage due to accident or
congenital birth. According to one study 5-8% of men and 0.5% of women are
born color-blind. And 99% of people with color blindness include
dichromacy protanopia and deuteranopia (green dysfunction). So whether you
are also color blind? There is no harm in trying a color blind test.
Ok, then how color blind people see the world? The following
examples taken from here. Differences vision of everyday objects and one
of the Ishihara colortest. How do you see?
The normal eye
Protan
Deutan
Tritan
Color blindness can
indeed interfere with daily activities. That's a fact. But sometimes
I can not understand that the 'shortage' is made to be a limitation to
excess. Examples of when choosing majors in college or looking for
work. Some areas require that candidates pass the color blind
test. As CMIIW, electrical and chemical. Indeed reasonable, but not
with the help of colleagues, or assistive devices such as label names or any
other help? After all color blind does not reduce a person's intelligence
and potential.

person with color blindne
