"Revolutionary Gene Therapy Restores Sight, Offering Hope to Millions"
Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, affects a significant portion of the population, with approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women being affected. While it doesn't mean seeing the world in shades of gray, it does impact the ability to distinguish certain colors, such as red and green. Dr. Jay Neitz, a color vision researcher, has shared slides showcasing what it's like to live with deuteranopia, a type of color blindness. The slides include tasks like identifying thoroughly cooked meat, a light pink solution, a red crayon, and the number 6. Understanding color blindness can help appreciate the ability to perceive and enjoy the full spectrum of colors.
