What percent of men and women display colorblindness and what is the cause?
AnswerThe percentage of men who exhibit some sort of colorblindness is between 5% and 8%, and only about .4% of females. Usually, It is caused by a genetic mutiation in which the chromosomes are missing the genetic code for some of the cones in your optic nerve. Each cone has a different pigment sensitive to different kinds of light. In those that exhibit colorblindness the peak color wavelength is lower than someone with normal vision. The most common cause of colorblindness is from genetic inheritance, but it can also be caused by a disease involving the retina or the optic nerve, or due to damage to a part of the visual cortex in the brain. Some drugs have been known to cause colorblindness as well, such as hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a drug used to treak patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Until now there is no cure for colorblindness.
