Color Vision Deficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Color vision deficiency, popularly known as color blindness, is a visual disorder in which it is difficult to distinguish certain colors or tell them apart from one another in everyday life.
Common causes: it is frequently of hereditary origin and present from birth, especially in men, although in some cases it can appear from other causes over the course of life.
How it presents: difficulty differentiating shades such as red and green, or blue and yellow, without necessarily affecting the sharpness of vision or the ability to read.
Who evaluates it? The ophthalmologist can perform specific tests to identify and characterize this deficiency. If you suspect that you or a family member has difficulty perceiving colors, a review with a professional helps clarify it and take precautions in activities where color is important.
