Color blindness

Lately, I've been seeing colors like orange or pink and mistaking them for red. Or the other way around. Even violet comes out as blue. Am I getting color blind or is it something else? Any of you expressed it before?

@evans777 Can be. Do you watch a lot in screen or very bright surface?

Males tend to be color blind. My husband can’t see purple although he has learned what purple looks like but if you asked him what our comforter color is he’ll says it’s gray when it’s purple. He can’t see in Green blue spectacular which is where purple is. It sounds like your in Red Blue which is a common in color blindness. Our middle child struggles seeing green he says it’s red so I suspect st his age is is green blue.

You don't 'get' colour blindness. It's something you are born with. It sounds like something that you might want to see a doctor about. I believe that jaundice can sometimes affect colour vision (as well as turning the whites of your eyes yellow).

@evans777 No. You see the colours you see always from the beginning. I guess that you only realise that you see things different from anyone else when someone points out that two colours are different yet you see them as the same. When you notice that you are seeing things differently from the way you used to see them, it's time to see an eye specialist (or a doctor).

Really, does surface after a while, or since from the beginning?

Your symptoms sound much like my younger sons. He has red/blue color deficiency. Orange looks tan to him and purple looks blue.

Did he had from the beginning or did it surfaced after a while?

@evans777 We believe he had it from an early age. The condition is genetic on my wife's side of the family.

You can acquire color blindness but it is usually caused by some other underlying issue. You might want to see an eye doctor there could be issues.

@evans777 eye doctor appointments are not that expensive compared to loosing sight.

I always thought you were born with colour blindness and it seems by reading the other comments that that's the case. It would be a good idea to have your eyes checked.

I have no clue. I guess only a doctor is competent enough to tell why this is happening.
