What do you see if you are red-green color blind?

So someone with red/green colour blindness will probably confuse blue and purple because they can’t ‘see’ the red element of the colour purple.

Can men be red/green color blind?

Since it’s passed down on the X chromosome, red-green color blindness is more common in men. This is because: Males have only 1 X chromosome, from their mother.

What is the life expectancy of someone with red-green color blindness?

No systemic abnormalities are associated with this disease and life expectancy is normal. No treatment is available for the primary disease but patients may benefit from low vision aids and vocational training. Darkly tinted glasses or red contact lenses reduce the light sensitivity and may improve vision.

How common is color blindness in males?
