Color vision deficiency, commonly known as color blindness, affects around 8% of males and 0.5% of females. The most common type impacts red-green perception, making it difficult to distinguish between certain shades of red, green, and brown.
While color blindness is often inherited and lifelong, early detection through a comprehensive eye exam can help individuals adapt with tools like color-correcting lenses or visual aids—especially important for children in learning environments.
