Color blindness is a genetic disease caused by mutations related to the pair of sex chromosomes (in women it is XX and in men it is XY). People with color blindness are caused by a mutation or lack of a gene on the X chromosome, causing a disorder of the light receptor cells in the eye needed to distinguish colors.

People with color blindness have a reduced ability to perceive colors. The risk of color blindness is higher in men than in women. There are many factors that cause color blindness:

- Congenital: The patient loses the ability to see blue or yellow.

- Due to side effects of drugs: Some drugs have the ability to affect cardiovascular drugs, blood pressure, infections, neurological disorders...

- Due to complications from some chronic diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's...

- Due to age and aging: vision and the ability to distinguish colors also gradually decrease as age increases, causing color blindness in the elderly.

The most common way to test for color blindness is:

- Ishihara Color Blindness Test: This color blindness test is for people who cannot distinguish red and green pigments. Your doctor will ask you to look at a series of circles with dots of different colors and sizes. Some dots form shapes or numbers with one to two digits. If you belong to the red-green color blind group, you will have a hard time recognizing those shapes, or even not seeing them.

- HRR color blindness test: This test is similar to Ishihara but helps screen for blue-yellow vision problems.

- Cambridge color blindness test: Similar to the Ishihara color blindness test, except it takes place on a computer.

- Color blindness test with dyschromia testing glasses: Doctors use this test to test for color blindness and determine whether there is a problem with your seeing red and green.

- Farnsworth–Munsell 100 color blind test kit: This kit uses blocks or dowels of different shades of the same color. Your task is to arrange this color blindness test table in a certain order. This test checks whether you can get nuanced changes in color.
