A member asked:
Can you become colorblind of too much sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Loss of color vision is mostly due to an inherited problem with your retinal light receptors and rarely can be acquired from retinal pathology or central nervous system issues. Too much sun has no effect on this.
