Colour blindness stuff.

6, o and NO is what I'm seeing.

I'm not strictly colour blind, though, I see all the primaries but nuances screw me over a lot (it's cos of a virus, not the usual thing). I could be fucking the last one up.

I see what you mean now..that comes through a little too. Tbh I think those things aren't very good because I have perfect vision. Funny how it's usually men who are colour blind tho'.
 
Might just have to do with the contrast on your monitor :idunno:

Women can have it too, but it's way rarer, it's genetic, like, and usually dormant or recessive in people with xx for some reason.

You can also have it temporarily if you're ill or pregnant or something.


Still, it's usually women wot have their periods, so it's a fair trade. Though my outlook might be different if all I saw were shades of brown, like.

It's difficult to tell. Like I said everyone I have spoken to says that they have wee bouts for years to come. I certainly get it sometimes but it only lasts a few seconds and if you know what it is you don't panic. Though it is fucking annoying.

The treatment I was given was basically as follows. I'll give you anti nausea tablets but try not to take them if you can avoid it. That way your brain will adapt. The sicker you feel the more motivation it has to adapt to the condition. I think that sometimes it forgets to allow for the problem and that's when one gets the "episodes".

On the day it happened to me I seriously thought I was going to die. I've never felt anything like it. I spoke to a Paratrooper of my acquaintance who it had happened to and he felt the same way. He was actually rushed to intensive care in an ambulance. His mate still can't go into certain rooms depending on the decor.

The best description I can give of the feeling when it happened is - Get really pished, then go on a "Waltzer" for about ten minutes then try to stand still. The whole World spins so much that you actually have to hold on to things.
 
Turning up the contrast to the max, and the brightness up slightly will reveal 2 and 3, but whatever I do I can't make number one much clearer :blink:

The first and the last aren't uber clear to me, like. But they aren't hard to make out.

The middle one is so clear I had a hard time accepting that others can't see it.

How did you get it in the first place? I had never heard of it before you mentioned it. It's one of them things I'd like to avoid, I reckon.
 
Both of my brothers are color blind, one seriously so, the other slightly. As the chaps said it's much more common in men than women and is almost certainly passed from your maternal grandfather.

I was tested in school and at that time, though it was rather a long time ago, I showed no signs of colour blindness. My brother who has it to the max cannot tell the difference in colour between a red andgreen traffic light. True Story.
