They all require a degree of colour perception but what if someone is colour blind? […] CVD is normally inherited by children from their parents through a genetic fault, which manifests as cells missing from the cones in the eyes, or the cones functioning incorrectly (NHS website, 2019). It is likely to be significantly underdiagnosed and is a condition that many people do not understand, or realise what it is and how it affects those who have it, and there also is little awareness of its prevalence.
