Are you or do you know anyone who is colourblind? It is indeed quite common, with prevalences as high as 8% in some ethnicities. Listen to our host, Dr Thales Guimaraes, as he walks us through how the colour machinery works in the eye, as well as the types of colour blindness and how it is inherited.
In these episodes, we try and digest the latest advances in ophthalmology and ocular research using simple terms.
