For these children, red, yellow, green, orange - just words. They perceive the color differently. Approximately 10 percent of boys suffer from daltonism, while only half-price of girls lack full color vision. This genetic deficit usually goes from the mother to his son and in subsequent generations. There is a misconception that those who suffer daltonism see everything in black and white, as if the world for them is a black and white TV. But it is not true. Such cases are extremely rare. Most children - Dalconikov see color, but they are completely different for them than for the rest of people.
