What is Color Blindness?

If you have color blindness (color vision deficiency), it means you see colors differently than most people. Most of the time, color vision deficiency makes it hard to tell the difference between certain colors. Usually, color vision deficiency runs in families

Trouble seeing colors and the brightness of colors in the usual way; inability to tell the difference between shades of the same or similar colors. This happens most with red and green, or blue and yellow

Severe colour blindness can interfere with tasks such as seeing traffic signals properly. Special eye glasses or contacts may be prescribed to adjust colour. People with severe colour blindness may not be able to perform tasks that require colour discrimination.

  • Retinal detachment (when the retina is pulled away from its normal position at the back of the eye)
  • Eye injuries caused by lasers.
  • Some kinds of brain tumors — especially ones that affect the optic nerve or put pressure on the brain.
  • Radiation treatments.

There is no way to prevent color blindness that is present at birth. But you may be able to reduce your chance of having color blindness later in life. Get regular eye exams, see your healthcare provider regularly, and follow a healthy lifestyle. These may help reduce your risk for acquired color blindness.
