Can color blindness be treated or cured?

Answer 1

There is no cure for color blindness at present. There are colored lenses that can be used to help distinguish certain colors, but they are impractical for daily use.

Some researchers at the University of Washington were able to cure red-green colorblindness in monkeys using gene therapy, but it will be a while until such treatments will be ready for humans.

Answer 2

There is no treatment or cure for color blindness. Those with mild color deficiencies learn to associate colors with certain objects and are usually able to identify color as everyone else. However, they are unable to appreciate color in the same way as those with normal color vision. Now there exists glasses and contact lenses that help to discriminate colors better.

Answer 3

Color blindness that exists from birth is not treatable. They do make certain contact lenses that have been shown to help a colorblind person distinguish colors they might otherwise be unable to detect. (ie- x-chrom lens) If it's an acquired colorblindness, that usually develops from a retinal or neurological problem. Sometimes, if you treat the cause of the acquired colorblindness, it can slightly improve, but most likely it won't improve.

Answer 4

As of now, there is no medical treatment or known cure for color blindness.

However, there are some coping strategies. There are also special lenses you can get that enhance color perception.

Answer 5
