Colour Vision Deficiency (Colour Blindness)

Around one in 12 men and one in 200 women has some a problem with their colour vision. If you think your child has a colour vision problem, or if there is a family history of colour vision problems, speak to your Optometrist. There is no treatment or cure, but you can tell your child’s teachers, so that they use colours appropriately.
