Color Blindness (Daltonism)

Color Blindness is an inherited condition that is genetically transmitted to the next generation and is more common in men. In color blindness, some colors and shades cannot be differentiated. The most common cases are those in which green and red colors cannot be differentiated.

Some color blind people can only perceive the environment in black and white. If you do not work in a job that requires you to differentiate colors in detail (e.g. as a driver, sea captain or painter), this condition does not affect your daily life. A definitive diagnosis can be made with a color blindness test. Although there is no treatment for genetic color blindness, color blindness due to weakening of the eye can be corrected to a certain extent or its development can be prevented.
