“Color blind” doesn’t necessarily mean you only see shades of gray. In fact, it is extremely rare to be truly color blind (that is, you see only black and white).
For this reason, “color vision deficiency” (CVD) is a more accurate term. To have CVC means colors are visible but in different shades and intensities than normal.
It’s estimated around 300 million people worldwide suffer from CVD (approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women).
Many factors play a role in determining how well we see and how likely we are to develop certain eye conditions. While lifestyle choices such as diet, screen time, and overall health practices are crucial, genetics is one factor we can’t control but has a significant impact.
In this article, we’ll explore how genetics influences eye health, from common conditions like nearsightedness to more serious genetic disorders, and how understanding your family history can help protect your vision.
Eyesight allows us to perceive information, process it, and make sense of our surroundings. Consequently, any impairment in vision can significantly affect an individual’s ability to learn and acquire knowledge.
Considering this, it’s important to understand the many ways that vision issues can impact learning, the developmental stages affected, the consequences on academic performance, and potential interventions to mitigate these challenges.
Imagine smelling a rose and not being able to place the smell. Imagine eating mom’s chocolate chip cookies, but finding out you don’t recognize the taste.
While it’s likely you know someone who temporarily lost his or her sense of smell or taste as a result of Covid, it seems almost impossible for someone to no longer be able to look at a common object, word, or even face, and be unable to tell what or who it is. However, that’s exactly what happens when someone is afflicted by a rare condition known as visual agnosia.
According to the United Brain Association, agnosia is a communication disorder that disrupts and impairs the brain’s ability to process sensory cues, most commonly visual and auditory cues.
Visual agnosia specifically disrupts your brain’s ability to process and understand what you are seeing with your eyes. In other words, your eyes are working correctly and as they normally would, but your brain is not.
As the medical community learns more about visual agnosia, they have come to understand there are actually several different types of the condition, including types that specifically affect your ability to recognize common objects (akinetopsia), words (alexia), colors (achromatopsia), and even familiar faces (prosopagnosia).
Celebrities have been making bold statements with their eyewear over the last century, turning ordinary glasses into iconic symbols of style and personality.
Let’s see the frames they favored and made famous and share some products that will allow you to achieve a similar look.
