Good News for Sufferers of Color Blindness
Recent breakthroughs in eye treatment methods come as good news to sufferers of color blindness.
A corrective contact lens used on color blind patients for the past three months in Turkey, improved the color vision of 97.5 percent of those treated.
Uludag University Professor Hikmet Ozcetin said color blindness is a birth defect and until recently, was impossible to cure. In order to correct the problem using this lens system, we must first detect the type of defect and then choose the right corrective lens for that particular eye.
