Replies Naptime Posted at 7:26 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 You can probably just Google something up, although your colourblindness sounds odd to me (I'm red\green colourblind, yet I only struggle with green trafficlights, which look white to me, and those multicoloured LEDs, which I can never tell the difference between easily), but, then again, there are more obscure things, I'm sure. However, if your life ambition is to be a truck\bus driver, you might not be able to... and getting a drivers license might be harder than it should be.

I would get it checked out... if you're having trouble on tests because of colors, then there's something clearly wrong.  You may not be colorblind persay... Has it always been this way, has anything happened recently that would change this?  It's better to get it checked out.  From what I know, I think my mom doesn't see properly with color out of one eye.  I don't think she was born like that, but she had some other complications. Either way, it's better to get it checked out by a doctor.  It doesn't seem like anything that's too drastic, and it must have been a recent change, since you must have recognized colors properly at some point to be able to suddenly start getting them wrong, if this makes sense. stuffydays Posted at 6:37 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Just Waiting Here at 6:35 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 The only thing with red green colorblindness is that your biological father would have HAD to be color blind for you to have this form of colorblindness.
