Colorblindness

Wed Feb 18, 2009, 2:22 PM
It's official, after 26 years I finally did some major testing of my eyes to see where my troubles with color perception come from.
The tests said I'm having trouble with the colors green and red, the major disability lies in recognicing shades of green and minor problems with the color red. Source of this problem seems to be some metabolism illnes in my eyes which stops the proper receptors from working.

Thanks to the inability of seeing proper green I can't tell the difference between familiar colors :D

This is hereditary (an uncle of mine had it too) and there is a big chance my son will have to handle a color disability too but the doctor said it's far too early to tell.

Damn that's not cool. :|

I on the other hand have this weird problem. My left eye sees 1 tone lighter than the right, or mayne it's other way arround. :D

I got a good friend who's color blind.

Anyway, what shade of green is this? :P (HINT: It's not a green shade.)

Just kidding man. It's not too bad being color blind. Far worse is being nearsighted, and trying to be a photographer.
