So, if you have one of the rarer versions, how would you know?

  2. you look at the chart
    and if any of the bars looks like Normal Vision
    that's what you got.

    2. +1. Certain variants would have multiple bars the same. If you have the bottom then all are the same.

      If you went to a US public school or visited the eye doctor regularly as a child you would have been screened for color blindness fairly young.

  3. While most people that have vision defects are born that way, you should be periodically checked. some medications like plaquenil can cause vision changes including color blindness.

  4. What are the colors to the right of violet? Does the top chart wrap around to red again? Back in the pre-historic times, when I was in school, the color chart memory aid to the visible light was ' ROYGBIV '. Has that changed when I wasn't looking or what?

  5. I have protanomaly.
    It has been a problem at times, especially when choosing a pair of socks out of the dryer.
    It seems to be helpful, however, when looking for a certain shade of green when detecting diseases in plant foliage such as potatoes.
    The different shades stand out in stark contrast to the whole.
    The downside is that it is difficult to see the green on a tuber that has been exposed to light that causes "sunburn" in spuds.
