People with color blindness are caused by a mutation or lack of a gene on the X chromosome, causing a disorder of the light receptor cells in the eye needed to distinguish colors.
People with color blindness have a reduced ability to perceive colors. The risk of color blindness is higher in men than in women. There are many factors that cause color blindness:
- Congenital: The patient loses the ability to see blue or yellow.
- Due to side effects of drugs: Some drugs have the ability to affect cardiovascular drugs, blood pressure, infections, neurological disorders...
- Due to complications from some chronic diseases: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's...
- Due to age and aging: vision and the ability to distinguish colors also gradually decrease as age increases, causing color blindness in the elderly.

It occurs when red or green cone cells do not function properly, or are completely absent. Have some kind:
Mild green blindness: This is the most common form of color blindness and affects 5% of men, but is rare in women. It occurs when green cone cells do not function as they should. Yellow and green look redder, and it can be difficult to distinguish blue from purple.
Mild red color blindness: It happens when your red cone cells don't work like they should. Orange, red, and yellow look greener, and the colors are less bright. It is usually mild and does not cause problems in daily life. This form of color blindness is very rare in women and affects about 1% of men.
Red color blindness: You don't have working red cone cells. Simple red looks dark gray. Some shades of orange, yellow and green look yellow. It is very rare in women and affects about 1% of men.

Chemical eye burns are a dangerous and emergency accident, especially in ophthalmology. Chemical eye burns need to be given first aid properly to minimize possible complications to the patient's eyes.
Reason
Acid burns include inorganic acids (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid) or organic acids.
Basic burns such as lime burns, alkaline burns.
Accidental eye burns caused by chemicals are acids that often occur in industry, in battery manufacturing, metal plating, laboratories, daily life or when someone intentionally splashes acid in the eyes.
Base burns are common among workers in aluminum manufacturing or soap making facilities. Lime burns are common in the construction industry or in daily life. Eye burns from benzene can occur in rubber manufacturing facilities.

Eyes are the most sensitive part of human, so without proper care, eyes will easily get some diseases. The following are the 10 most common eye diseases according to the statistics of Saigon Eye Hospital.
Corneal ulceration
Corneal ulcers are a fairly common disease in developing countries. One of the main causes of the disease is the lack of vitamin A in the daily diet. In addition, hot and humid weather conditions are also the cause of corneal ulcers. The cornea is the transparent outer layer of the eye. The cornea is the site that allows light to pass through the eye.
Because it is the outermost layer, the cornea must be in direct contact with bacteria and dirt, tears help clean the cornea. But if the level of bacteria exceeds the ability of tears to clean, it will cause corneal ulcers. Even microscopic... less

The cornea (GM) or in English called the Cornea is a component of the sheath of the eyeball. In which the outermost layer occupies the anterior 1/5 of the outer layer of the eyeball is the cornea (corresponding to the position of the iris of the eye).
The normal cornea is transparent and has an anterior curvature like a watch glass. The GM front is convex and the back is concave, the front is smaller than the back.
GM diameter varies from birth to adulthood. Infants have a GM diameter of 10 mm and adults 11.5 mm. Therefore, GM will have the right size for each age group.
The characteristics of the cornea
The cornea is composed of 5 layers from the outside to the inside, including:
Epithelial layer;
Bowman's membrane;
Parenchymal layer;
Descemet membrane;
Endothelial layer.
What is the function of the cornea?
The cornea will have two main functions, namely:
GM will help cover and protect the eyes from germs, dust and harmful substances.
The GM acts as a lens to help control and focus... less

There are patients who only have temporary color blind test, but there are also many cases where they have to accept living with this disease for the rest of their lives.
People with red and green color blindness are often genetic, men account for about 8% and women account for about 0.4%. The cause is determined to be due to the gene for red and green color blindness located on the chromosomes.
People with blue and yellow color blindness make up only about 5% of all people with color blindness.
Effects of color blindness on patients
People with color blindness will have certain effects on work and life even though they can still see everything around them. Difficulties in recognizing colors and distinguishing objects of different colors will affect daily work, especially those related to design, graphics, driving, etc.In addition to... less

Keep in mind the order of traffic light colors for safe traffic. Note the colors, rearrange the order of colors for easy identification when needed.
If there is any abnormality in vision, it is necessary to see a doctor for timely examination, diagnosis and treatment.
It is necessary to support patients with color vision disorders to avoid unfortunate consequences that may occur in daily life.
Occupations that require accurate color discrimination should be avoided such as: designer, driver, painter, teacher.
You can check your color blindness in general with the color blind test before going to the hospital.
Currently, there is no cure for hereditary color blindness, but prenatal diagnosis can confirm the disease.
