There are many different types of color blindness.
There is Protanopia, Protanomaly, Deuteranomaly, Deuteranopia for red-green colorblindness. People have a loss of red cone or green cone which is a way you see red and green color in this color blindness.
For blue-yellow there is Tritanomaly and Tritanopia. People Have a loss of blue-cone which means you don't see blue as well or any.
For complete colorblindness there is Cone monochromacy and Rod monochromacy or achromatopia. Cone is a rare Disorder which is where 3 or more color cones are lost, depending on the color if only 1 color cone works then you cannot distinguish colors at all.
Rod of either type is rare and most severe. no cone cells can be used to show color. They see color in gray, white, and black. They are uncomfortable in environments on high light.
Color blindness if present from birth on the X chromosome. For red-green it effects males more then females. On Blue-Yellow it effect men and women equally. Then complete is a autosomal disorder.
There is no cure to color blindness, but there is lenses to have help but there is again, no cure.
I am personally Protanipia but many people are many others, I learned just how many different types there is of colorbliness and I hope you did too.

This is a well organized post and had good information. The only thing I would change would be that next time put headers so its easier to read and to be able and go back and search through all the words to find a specific thing. Overall good post just missing headers.
ReplyDeleteThis post had good information on different types of color blindness. The only thing I would change would be to break up the information a bit and give us a more in depth to what each one is and how they are caused. I learned about different types of color blindness as well.

ReplyDeleteI like the information you packed in your post. It is definitely helpful for someone that is having difficulties with this topic. Do you personally know anyone that is colorblind? I would have preferred if you organized it better. I feel like your information is just scattered or maybe included headers.
ReplyDeleteI like how you organized this simply so we could read it easily. I think it's interesting you have a form of colorblindness, you're best equipped to talk about this. I wonder if we'll ever find a cure for colorblindness, and do you have the lenses?
