Color blindness
Color blindness is a condition of the organ of vision, when some colors seem to merge, and a person cannot exactly name the color that he sees. There are also cases when one or more colors almost completely "fall out", so color blindness is sometimes called "color blindness".
With color blindness, the pigment may be absent, work incorrectly, or not be produced enough, which leads to a deterioration in color perception. But color blindness does not affect visual acuity.
Reasons:
Most often, color blindness is a hereditary condition. And the causes of acquired color blindness may be:
Inflammatory eye diseases.
Degenerative changes of the retina and optic nerve due to chronic diseases and eye injury.
Due to taking certain medications or substances.
Symptoms:
Difficulties in distinguishing between red and green colors, less often — blue.
The inability to distinguish shades of one color from others.

Treatment
There are no methods of treatment and prevention of hereditary color blindness. But there are special glasses that accentuate the missing colors. There are also special contact lenses that can enrich the lives of people with color perception. Acquired color blindness in some cases can be treated — for example, surgically, if the cause was an injury, or conservatively, if color blindness appeared due to concomitant pathology with the underlying disease or after taking medications (and not only) substances.
