A: SO what exactly 15 colourblindness.>
a: Well, colourbllnd peopte can see perfectly clearly,
but they can't d1SI1nguish certa1n colours, mostly
red or green (sometmes both).
A: How come? 1mean what couses P
a: Well. we all have colour sensors tn our ey~ and
when these are darnaged our abillty to see
dfferent colours s reduced. There are three types
of ~nsor: sorne respond to red, sorne to green
and sorne to blue hght. But they work in
comb1na110n so that we can see all the colours of
the ra1nbow. lf one of your sensors S damaged,
your colour VISIOO wll be disrupted, but tf two are
darnaged you can only see 10 black .and white
A; 1 don't thmk l've ever k nown a colourbl1nd person
so 11 must be qu1te rare
a: No not at all, unless all your fnends and
acqua1ntances are women, that is. Only a My
proport1on of wornen
about 0 .04 per cent
are colourblind but among men m western Europe
as many as 8 per cent are affected
A: SO does t stop them leadmg normal llv~>

156

a: Ves 1t can do There are a number of obs where

dStlnguishing cotours can be very 1mportant
electncians for example must be able to t~l the
dfference between blue, brown. yellow and green
But in fact 1f you dnve a car d1st1ngU1shmg red,
green and orange s vtat.
A: 5o does that mean f you're colourbhnd you cant
dnveJ
e: Fortunately no We can solve the problern by
g1ving the person tlnted contact lenses. The tlnt
tncks the brain into perce1V1ng colour Usually they
only have to wear one so it 's not too obvious. but
one of our pat1ents. a photographer. couldn't tell
orange from green so he had to wear a purple and
a yellow lens. l've never hada case hke that
before. He tells me he does get sorne funny looks
from pas~rsby
A: 5o how did he manage to work as a photographer
lf he was colour-bl1nd'
a: Oh, he'd learnt to ask people what colour th1ngs
were wthout ther realis1ng he was asking. None
of hs fnends knew he was colour-bhnd
A: lt must be fantastlc for people once they have the
lenses and can see all the colours.
a: We!l. yes
though rt does have sorne funny
consequences One woman, who couldn't see red,
was horrifed when she saw what colour
strawbernes were. She could never face eatlng
them agan after that
