What is color blindness?

The human eye sees by light stimulating the retina. The retina is made up of what are called Rods and Cones. Cones let us perceive color during daylight conditions. Due to genetic and acquired defects, the color-sensitive pigments in the Cones lead to us perceiving certain colors incorrectly, which leads to color blindness.

If your child is diagnosed with color blindness, you can:

  • Better equip children daily with coping mechanisms
  • Improve their grades and behaviour from a formative age
  • Help them navigate day-to-day actions such as dressing or reading traffic lights
  • Preempt more serious risks and diseases denoted by color blindness

Cataracts cause fuzzy vision and light sensitivity due to cloudy areas forming over the eye's lens.
