A member asked:

How to know what is bad about being color blind if you have never noticed?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Nothing: People who are colorblind often are not aware of the situation. They usually function well except in the fashion industry.

Probably nothing: At your age you have fully adapted to the color recognition problem and have almost certainly chosen an occupation in which color deficiency is not a problem.
