A member asked:
Do you have to be born withcolor blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Color deficiency is most commonly an inherited condition which is detected as soon as the child is old enough to be tested. You can also acquire color deficiencies with certain retinal disorders, advanced diabetes, and a rare central nervous system stroke which disturbs the ability to detect colors properly.
