General Info

Color blindness can have a major impact on a person’s life, but thankfully, there is treatment available! Something as seemingly simple as a stoplight requires a colorblind person to pay much closer attention than the average driver, because the familiar red and green lights are indistinguishable to a person with color blindness. Inherited color blindness is more likely to affect men, as it is a sex-linked characteristic. Eye diseases, trauma to the brain, and medication side-effects may also cause color blindness.
