Frequently Asked Question
What is Colour Blindness?
Colour Blindness (Color Vision Deficiency) is a condition in which a person has difficulty distinguishing certain colours, most commonly red and green, or blue and yellow. It is usually inherited and affects the colour-sensitive cells (cones) in the retina.
Can Colour Blindness be cured?
Currently, there is no permanent cure for inherited Colour Blindness. However, specialized colour-correcting glasses, contact lenses, digital tools, and vision support strategies can help improve colour perception and make everyday tasks easier.
How is Colour Blindness diagnosed?
Colour Blindness is diagnosed through comprehensive eye examinations using colour vision tests such as the Ishihara Colour Plate Test, Farnsworth D-15 Test, and other advanced diagnostic evaluations performed by an eye specialist.
Is Colour Blindness hereditary?
Yes. Most cases of Colour Blindness are inherited and passed down through families. It is more common in males because the most frequent forms are linked to the X chromosome. In rare cases, it can also develop due to eye diseases, injuries, or certain medications.
