Welcome to

Our MISSION is always with a great VISION
At COLOURVISION.ORG.IN, Our mission is to create awareness regarding Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) commonly known as “Colorblindness”
Today in our country there are many children who are Colour Vision Deficient (CVD) but unfortunately, they are left undiagnosed leaving them to choose careers which doesn’t hold them well. Getting into the Indian Armed Forces and relevant jobs where CVD is denied is quite a big challenge for them. But at the same time there are plenty other careers in which they could succeed! A detailed discussion on this is given in our ‘CVD & career’ content page.
We at colourvision.org.in provide an entire support platform for colour vision deficient people.
What is colorblindness?
Colorblindness or colour vision deficiency (CVD) is a defect in ‘colour perception’ by the eyes. This condition is more common in men compared
to women. About 8% of males (1 in 12 males) and 0.4 % of females (1 in 200 females) are affected by
various types of colour vision deficiencies (CVD). The red-green colour defect is very common, where the person confuses with the spectrum of red and green colours. CVD can be inherited (the defective gene is passed on by the parents)
or acquired (as a result of other diseases or an injury that damages the parts
of eye).
People with colour vision deficiency (CVD) can only see a limited number of colours. This means mistakes can be made in colour identification and some colours are confused. People with significant colour defect confuse pale or dark colours. The range of colour confusions increases in low level of lighting and if the coloured areas are small.
Global Findings
About 8 percent of males and 0.5 percent of females in the global population have colour vision deficiency (CVD). Which makes 1 student in every classroom or at least 1 person in almost every group to be colour vision deficient
More in Males
Colour Vision Deficiency or colorblindness affects the male population predominantly. Red-green colour deficiency is the most common type.
We Provide
Although there are many awareness sessions which takes place across the country, still a majority of people in our country are unaware of CVD and its effects on individual’s career. This is where COLOURVISION.ORG.IN is going to play a major role.

From awareness to genetic counseling, we give information on Career guidance for CVD, problems faced by CVD in the society, their solutions and much more. Looking forward to your support!
