What Colorblind People See

Video Transcript

"What do colorblind people see? Actually the correct term is color deficiency, about one and a half percent of men have a certain type of color deficiency and about half the percent of the women do. There is a red green defect, there is a blue yellow defect. I personally have problems telling the difference between deep greens and blues and blacks but what they can't do is they can't differentiate between a certain colors. True color blindness where someone really sees black and white is extremely rare and that the center vision which is actually cones is missing and the rods are what give us black and white vision so that person is going to see poorly, that person is probably going to be seeing 20/80, 20/100 but again when we say color blind what we really are talking about is somebody who is color deficient and that is something that has a broad range of what someone can and cannot see."
