Color blindness

Color blindness is when someone's eyes do not see colors the same way as most other people's eyes. People with color blindness can not tell the difference between certain colors. For example, they might not be able to tell the difference between shades of red and green, or they might not be able to see any red or green at all. It is like how some people can't see as well as other people - some people need glasses so that they can see. Color blindness affects a lot of people, but it does not stop someone from seeing things or doing things. They just have to learn how to do things differently.
