What Are The Types of Colour Blindness?
There are three types of colour blindness.
1. Red-Green Type
It is a common type of colour blindness, making distinguishing between red and green colours hard.
There are 4 main types of red-green type :
-
Deuteranomaly is the most common type of red-green type found in humans. In this scenario, the patient was more confused in detecting the green color, which looked red. It is a mild problematic situation and doesn't affect a person's daily routine activities.
-
Protanomaly is the case in which the patient had confusion in detecting red color, in which red color looks like green and less bright. this is also a mild condition. It doesn't affect the patient's daily routine activities.
-
Protanopia and deuteranopia make you unable to detect the difference between red and green colours.
2. Blue-Yellow Type
This less-common type makes it harder to distinguish between yellow & red and blue & green.
There are two sub types of Blue-Yellow type:
-
Tritanomaly makes it harder to detect the difference between Yellow and Red and between Blue and Green.
-
Tritanopia makes it harder to detect the difference between yellow and pink, blue and green, and purple and red. It also makes colors look less bright in average conditions.

-
Signs are sometimes so mild that you may not notice them. And we get used to it the way they are; many people don’t know they have it until they try to give the color blind test.
People with more severe cases might have other symptoms, too, like quick side-to-side eye movements (nystagmus) or may be sensitive to light.
