color blind

Color blindness is definitly permanent. It can not be corrected. You are born with it. Color blind means everything is in shades of greys and blacks and whites. I know several people that are color blind. And the funny thing is they are all men. So I think you are right in your assestment that they are usually males.

Hello dear glitzypurple. I am not sure about the issue, but I can tell you that I am not color blind because I can always tell the color very correctly. lol.

I have read that men are more prone to color blindness.

Color blindness is a gene that is more dominant in males than in females. My uncles is color blind. He can not see red or blue. It all looks purple. My sister dated a man who was also red/blue color blind and everything red or blue was a dark shade of purple according to him. Some women are color blind, but for the most part, it is a male trait. Just as is allergies to pet dander. More men are allergic than women. It's a dominant gene for men as well.
