First to define Tritanopia.....A visual defect characterized by the inability to discern blue and yellow Most people do not get Tritanopia. It is usually caused by a genetic defect. People affected by tritanopia are dichromats. This means the S-cones are completely missing and only long- and medium-wavelength cones are present. There have been some instances where individuals have reported symptoms consistant with Tritanopia after being struck violently in the front or back of the head. Also, there seems to be a slightly higher rate of Tritanopia associated with alcoholics. Tritanopia is by chance either inherited by subdominance, or due to possible nerve damage.

I am a blindhow would you describe a color blue and red to me?
You must be lying. There's no type of colorblindness that would make one confusing red and blue. Green and red yes, blue and green yes, and sometimes blue and purple, but not red and blue. No matter what type of colorblindness you have, whether it's protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia, blue and red would look different.
