Color Blindness
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Someone who perceives certain colors differently from most people can benefit from an evaluation with the ophthalmologist or the optometrist, specialists who study vision and the way the eye distinguishes colors. Color blindness is exactly that: an alteration in the perception of colors, most often between red and green tones.
What does it involve? It is usually a condition present from birth and hereditary in origin, although in some cases it can be related to other eye causes.
How does it show up? A person may confuse colors or have difficulty telling them apart in certain situations, without this affecting the sharpness of their vision.
When is it advisable to check it? A vision evaluation helps confirm the type of alteration and understand how to manage it in everyday activities. Scheduling a checkup with an eye care professional is helpful for clearing up questions.
