Many people who have one eye that sees colors differently than their other eye do not know it. This is because the brain compensates for any color vision deficiency by interpreting colors in a way that makes them “look right.” For example, if you struggle to tell red from green, your brain may see both as shades of yellow or brown when viewing them through one eye.
Hvad forårsager farveblindhed?
As you may know, color blindness is a visual disorder that affects how you see colors. Color blindness can be caused by a defect in the cone cells of your retina, which are responsible for perceiving color. A color blind person sees only shades of gray. They cannot tell apart some colors that people with normal vision can tell apart.
Color blindness occurs when your genes do not produce enough of one or more types of cones—red (long waves), green (medium waves), or blue (short waves). The condition is inherited from your parents, though it may skip generations before appearing in a child’s lineage. Over 100 genes cause some types of inherited color blindness. But, most cases involve just one gene variant. They do not involve two different variants on each side of the family tree.
Er det kun muligt at være farveblind på det ene øje?
Ja, det er muligt kun at være farveblind på det ene øje. Farveblindhed er normalt forårsaget af gener og nedarvet fra dine forældre. Det kan også ske som følge af et traume eller en sygdom.
However, color blindness can also occur at birth due to genetic conditions. These include Turner syndrome, which is a chromosomal abnormality. They also include albinism, which is a lack of skin pigment. They also include congenital vascular anomalies, which are poorly formed blood vessels.
If you are born with this condition, it may affect both eyes equally or just one eye more than the other. The severity of the condition depends on how much vision you have lost due to this problem. It will affect how well you adapt to life without being able to see colors on that side of your body.
Hvis du har normalt syn på det ene øje og er farveblind på det andet, hvordan ser du så verden?
Hvis du har normalt syn på det ene øje og er farveblind på det andet, vil du se verden i gråtoner.
To understand how this works, you must know that color blindness is a problem with your cones. Cones are the cells in your retina that see color. In most cases, people with normal eyesight have three different types of cone cells: red, green and blue (RGB). The cones send signals to your brain about what colors you’re seeing through their pigments. So if one or more of them are damaged or missing, it can cause problems perceiving certain shades.
People with only rød-grøn farveblindhed (deuteranopia) can see some greens and blues but not all of them. Their brains aren’t getting signals from those cones anymore. Someone with only blue-yellow color blindness (tritanopia) has brains that get no signals from green cones.
Kan man være farveblind på kun ét øje, eller påvirker det altid begge?
Kan man være farveblind på kun ét øje, eller påvirker det altid begge?
Farveblindhed er ikke en tilstand, der kun rammer det ene øje. Den påvirker begge øjne.
Colorblindness is less common in the left eye than in the right one. That’s because the optic nerve carries information about what you see from your retina to your brain. It passes through a section of bone at the back of your skull called the optic chiasm. This bone separates your left and right eyes before it becomes part of each optic nerve. Signals cross from one eye to the other and back. This causes more color vision problems in people with one eye than in those with two.
It’s possible to be colorblind in only one eye, and this is known as unilateral colorblindness. This can happen when one eye has normal vision but the other eye has achromatopsia (colorblindness). Or, it can happen when both eyes have colorblindness.
In some cases, people with unilateral colorblindness have mild dichromacy. They see two colors. For example, some people with deuteranopia may see reds as purple or brown. They do this because they can perceive green better than red.
It’s also possible for someone with normal vision in one eye to have deuteranopia in their other eye. This can happen if their brain doesn’t get matching signals from both eyes. In these cases, the brain uses only one signal from one eye to see colors. It relies on memory to fill in the blanks with information from the other eye.
Kan man være mere farveblind på det ene øje end på det andet?
The answer is yes, but only if you have a condition called anisometropia. This is when your two eyes have different powers. One eye can see better than the other. It’s usually caused by a difference in the length of your eyeball. If one eye has a longer axial length than the other, it means that it focuses light at a different point on your retina. So, it will be more nearsighted than the less long-sighted eye.
Hvis du har anisometropi, kan du ikke være mere farveblind på det ene øje end på det andet, fordi de ser forskellige ting.
If you don’t have anisometropia, then you can still be more colorblind in one eye than in another because of differences in how much light enters each eye. For example, if someone has cataracts or macular degeneration, which make it hard to see close objects, they may have trouble telling red from green. They also have trouble telling blue from yellow.
Forskellige typer af farveblindhed kan ændre den måde, du ser verden på.
Hvis du er farveblind, er din hjerne måske ikke i stand til at genkende visse farver. Det kan gøre det svært for dig at gøre ting, der kræver, at du kan se forskellige farver godt. Hvis du f.eks. er rød-grøn farveblind, vil det være svært for dig at se, om trafiklyset er grønt eller rødt.
People who are red-green color blind see some shades of green as yellow or brown and some shades of red as purple or pink. Some people with this color blindness have trouble telling oranges from browns. But, they can usually tell other shades apart.
If someone says they are “colorblind,” they likely mean they have dyslexia. Dyslexia is sometimes called “word blindness.” Dyslexia refers to a learning disability that makes it hard for people to read words properly—even though their eyesight is normal!
Konklusion
Hvis du tror, at du måske er farveblind, er det bedst at gå til lægen så hurtigt som muligt. De kan udføre tests og afgøre, om der er noget galt med dit syn, før det bliver et problem på andre områder. Du vil måske blive overrasket over, hvor mange mennesker der lider af denne tilstand uden at vide det!
