Daltonism

Daltonism, commonly known as color blindness, is a condition where individuals have difficulty distinguishing certain colors, most often reds and greens. It occurs due to differences or deficiencies in the cone cells of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for color perception. As a result, colors may appear muted, blended, or misidentified. Daltonism is typically inherited and affects males more frequently. While it does not usually impair vision or daily functioning significantly, it can influence activities that rely heavily on color recognition. There is no cure, but many adapt successfully using alternative strategies or tools.
