[QUOTE="Patricks, post: 302733"] Color blindness is a condition in which a person is unable to perceive certain colors or distinguish between them. The most common form of color blindness is red-green color blindness, which affects about 8% of males and 0.5% of females of Northern European descent. The most common cause of color blindness is an inherited genetic mutation. It is usually passed down from parents to their children. The gene responsible for color vision is located on the X chromosome, which means that males are more likely to be color blind than females. Some people may develop color blindness as they age. This is because the cells in the retina that are responsible for color vision become less responsive over time. Some eye disorders, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, can cause color blindness. Certain medications, such as antipsychotics, antihistamines, and some antibiotics, can cause temporary or permanent color blindness. Exposure to certain chemicals and toxins, such as carbon disulfide, styrene, and lead, can cause color blindness.Trauma to the head or brain can sometimes cause color blindness. It is important to note that not all types of color blindness are preventable or treatable. If you think you may be color blind, it is important to see an eye doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss any treatment options that may be available [/QUOTE]
