Practical aspects of color vision deficiency

Abstract

Abstract Color vision deficiency (CVD) is a nontreatable medical condition that can inflict issues in an individual’s life in every aspect. People who have CVD struggle in daily life, in early learning and development, in school, when choosing a career, and in their performance at work. A brief understanding of the neurophysiology of color vision, its pathology, and the ramifications of CVD in people’s lives including psychosocial effects can bring enough awareness in the community to deal with the issue at hand. The practical and medicolegal aspects of CVD also need to be discussed as the scarcity of such studies and cognizance among the public pose problems and confusion in society, which needs to be rectified.
