What is Color Vision Deficiency?
Color vision deficiency, commonly known as color blindness, refers to conditions where individuals have difficulty distinguishing certain colors. The most common types affect red-green perception, while blue-yellow deficiencies and complete color blindness are less prevalent but equally impactful.
Advanced Settings Explanation
