Colorblindness

Colorblindness is a visual condition where individuals have difficulty distinguishing certain colors, typically due to differences or deficiencies in the light-sensitive cells (cones) in the retina of the eye. These cones are responsible for perceiving red, green, and blue light, the primary colors used in vision. When one or more types of cones don't function properly, it can result in difficulty seeing specific color differences, most often red and green. This condition is usually inherited but can also be caused by eye injuries or diseases. Colorblindness varies in severity and does not typically impair overall visual clarity.
