Colorblind Symptoms & Signs

People who are colorblind are not be able to see colors with the same intensity as most other people. However, the symptoms may be so mild that some patients are unaware they are colorblind unless specifically tested.

Most commonly, people have difficulty distinguishing shades of a particular color. Parents may notice colorblindness in a more severely affected child at the time the child would normally learn colors. In severe cases, other symptoms such as jiggling eyes (nystagmus) or roving eye movements may be present.
