protanopia or color blindness means that you have trouble seeing red, green, or blue or a mix of these colors. It’s rare that a person sees no color at all.
Most color vision problems are inherited (genetic) and are present at birth,In some cases, a person can have an acquired color vision problem. This can be caused by:
1-Aging.
2-Eye problems, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or 3-3-diabetic retinopathy.
4-Injury to the eye.
5-Side effects of some medicines.
as for treatment
Inherited color vision problems cannot be treated or corrected.
Some acquired color vision problems can be treated, depending on the cause. For example, if a cataract is causing a problem with color vision, surgery to remove the cataract may restore normal color vision.or if a medication is causing the problem then cutting off the medication will be the treatment
You can find ways to help make up for a color vision problem, such as:
-Wearing colored contact lenses. These may help you see differences between colors. But these lenses don't provide normal color vision and can distort objects.
-Wearing glasses that block glare. People with color vision problems can see differences between colors better when there is less glare and brightness.
-Learning to look for cues like brightness or location, rather than colors. For example, you can learn the order of the three colored lights on a traffic signal.
