2. It’s a Lifelong Condition
Color blindness is a condition that has no cure as far as we know. There are plenty of things that can be done for you to live with the condition in an easier way – such as learning ways around the shades or colors that you can’t see – but the condition itself can’t be completely cured. If you are color blind, you’re going to be color blind for life – and while there are methods (such as tinted glasses) that can help you to see color, they only aid the condition and can’t cure it completely.
You can still live a completely normal life with color blindness, and apart from being unable to follow a handful of career options where being able to see colors are part of the job, it won’t generally affect your life in too many other ways.
Whether you’re color blind or not, it’s always a good idea to have your eye health seen regularly.
