Colorblindness is better described as a color-deficiency because in the vast majority of people with the condition they can see colors, but lack the ability to Perceive them the way most people do. By far most people with Colorblindness have a red-green deficiency. When a colorblind person looks at a red apple, they will say it is red because they know it is red, but will perceive the actual color differently. It is an inherited trait that mainly affects men because it is an X-linked recessive gene. There is no treatment for the condition. However, a red contact lens can be used to help with detecting different hues. It may limit some in the career choices they make.
