The Color Blindness Genetic Disease

Color blindness was first discovered about 40 million years ago. Color blindness is commonly caused by heredity.  People who are color blind have problems with seeing colors. People cant tell whether a women is wearing lipstick or not. They have problems distinguishing or telling reds and greens apart or blues and greens apart. There is no treatment for this disease but there are special tinted eyeglasses to help tell colors apart. Fortunately, people cannot die from this disease. 7 percent of males in the United States are color blind and only 4 percent of women are color blind. The European region is more vulnerable to the disease. There are many reasons why color blindness is caused. First, there are red, green, and blue cones. If one cone is absent or is not there, then that means you are color blind. The cones are responsible for coding colors. Color blindness is a disease from the optic nerve or the retina. An idea that people can do to develop new treatments is to make contact lenses that can code the colors in your eyes so people don't have to wear eyeglasses. I feel that this disease isn't as bad as some others, but it is really hard for people to tell some colors apart. I hope they find a cure for color blindness.
