optom3:
One in 8 men is colour blind.The reason being the gene for colour vision is on the X chromosome and as men are XY and women are XX .If the X chromosome in the man is affected he will have the condition.Women have to have both X chromosomes to be affected to have the problem.If only one is,then they are a carrier but do not have the problem.
Same goes for Haemophilia.
Boys should have their colour vision checked early on, to save heartache later in life when they discover they can't be a pilot,air traffic control, and several other occupations.
I think I am getting optometric withdrawal, judging by the number of vision posts I have made tonight.
