What Causes Mild Color Blindness?
My grandson suddenly can t tell the colors blue from purple or red from green. Started this evening after spending the afternoon on the beach. He is nearly 7 yrs old and failed the color blind test at school that was diagnosed as mild color blindness but he never had any trouble with the above colors until today.
