How can people recover from blindness?

Which cell or cell types is color blindness in?
Color blindness is due to dysfunctional cone type cells in the retina of the eye.
What are the 2 types of defects of visions?
near sighted, far sighted, cataracts, glaucoma, blindness
Are color blindness and blindness the same thing?
No - colour-blindness is the inability of the brain to interpret correctly colours that the eyes see, or maybe the eyes have a defect in their structure that sends the wrong signals to the brain. Blindness (total?) is when the eyes are unable to send visual signals to the brain at all. Maybe the optic nerve is damaged, or the eyes themselves are damaged - there are various medical reasons for the cause of blindness.
Is there a cure for blindness?
Depends on the condition. Some types can be fixed by surgery, or can fix themselves over time
Can people who are colourblind be pilots?
Generally, no. Some types of color blindness are OK for general aviation, but red-green color blindness is almost always a disqualification, because the wingtip lights are red and green.
How many types of Blindness are there?
Hundreds or more, but most are minor variations. The most common are red-green confusion, followed by blue-green confusion. Extremely rare is complete color blindness; everything is shades of gray.
Is color blindness continuous?
Color blindness is not continuous; rather, it exists as distinct types and degrees of color vision deficiencies. The most common forms, such as red-green color blindness, can vary in severity, but individuals either have a specific type of deficiency or do not. This means that while the manifestation of color blindness can differ among individuals, it does not represent a continuous spectrum but rather discrete categories of color perception.
What would happen to a person's colour vision if one of three types of cones in his or hers eyes stopped working?
A very unusual form of color blindness. Even in people with normal color blindness all three types of cones usually still work, but one has an incorrect pigment and so responds to the wrong color. Also color blindness is almost always a condition someone is born with, not something that can occur suddenly.
What is the karyotype of color blindness?
Individuals with color blindness often have a normal male karyotype (46,XY) or female karyotype (46,XX). The genetic basis for color blindness typically involves mutations in genes located on the X chromosome, leading to different types of color vision deficiencies.
Are parents carriers in color blindness?
Not exactly "carriers" since that word refers to someone who has a disease but exhibits no symptoms. However there is a genetic component to color blindness. It doesn't mean all children of a couple will have it though as men have i more often than women and in some types of color blindness the woman must have 2 genetic defects to pass it on.
