Colour blindness, also known as colour vision deficiency(CVD) is a condition wherein you are not able to see colours like others with normal vision. Colour blindness has different types and degrees. The condition causes a difficulty in distinguishing between certain colours. For example, a colourblind person may find it tough to see the difference between blue and gree. However, that doesn't mean that they see the whole world in black and white. Some people see the shades of green and red in a very similar way and thus end up getting confused or irritated.

However, people living with colour blindness face difficulties at various stages of life. Most importantly, the stigma attached to the condition can cause mental health issues in those with colour blindness. Since it is very difficult to determine if you are colour blind or not, there are different tests available with the experts that can help you figure.
