According to the NHS, color vision deficiency, commonly known as color blindness, affects how individuals perceive and differentiate colors. While there is no cure for this condition, people can adapt to it, and it often runs in families.
The main symptom is difficulty distinguishing between colors, and it may manifest in children through various behaviors such as using incorrect colors for drawing or having trouble with color-related activities.
If you or your child experience symptoms of color vision deficiency, it is advisable to seek guidance from an optician for further evaluation and support.
