Color blindnessshare_icon

Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is a condition where an individual has difficulty distinguishing between certain colors. It is most commonly inherited genetically but can also be acquired due to various factors such as eye diseases, injuries, or certain medications. The condition affects the retina's ability to process light and images correctly, leading to a different perception of colors than those with normal color vision.
