Color blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. It is estimated that around 300 million all around the world suffer from color blindness. This vision deficiency can be caused by genetics or various diseases such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis.  The most common form of color blindness is the inability to see green and red properly, but there are different types and different severities of this condition. While it is hard to understand for most people how color blindness even works, some people who have it often struggle to realize it too, if their condition is not that severe.
