What
is color vision deficiency?
Color vision defects can either be congenital or
acquired. Congenital color defects are red-green abnormalities often passed
on to a gene on the X-chromosome, affecting 5-8% of males and 0.5% of
females. Acquired defects are often the blue-yellow type.
Very few individuals with color vision defects
will confuse pure red with pure green, rather pastel pinks or yellows with
greens. Likewise blue-yellow deficient individuals will tend to confuse
pastel or dark blues and greens. If you have a blue-yellow defect, work-up
for the possibility of an acquired disease should be done.
Is there a cure for
color vision deficiency?
Presently there is no cure for congenital color
vision deficiency. Most individuals do well with their vision and function
normally. A visit to your ophthalmologist will help identify the type of
color vision deficiency and exclude any acquired disease.
