Abstract

Color vision is crucial for daily life, and conditions such as color blindness and deficiencies can negatively impact one's quality of life and livelihood. According to a study in India there was an increase in the prevalence of color vision deficiency (CVD) among children and young adult teenagers, who are losing empowering opportunities in education and academics. However, this trend can be managed with evidence-based new interventions and objectives from India's developing nation models. This policy paper mainly highlights the need for effective strategies to address this issue. Early identification of CVD is crucial for effective interventions and rehabilitation to reduce medical, behavioral, and economic burdens on patients, families, and society. Strategies include policy prescriptions, advocacy, public health campaigns, investing in a trained workforce, and using technology to facilitate early screening in educational institutes. These strategies aim to address the growing healthcare crisis of CVD.
