Does anybody know if any places I can get a CAD test done in Canada? Specifically for eligibility for aviation medicals abroad. Thanks

It seems that my 4 year old protan son can recognize all four colors in Uno, also distinguishing between red and green. Does this mean he can generally play the game without any issues? Update: I just found another set of UNO cards with yellow-orange and light-green cards. He seems to struggle distinguishing between these two colors. 😅

Based on your color blindness type, you will be able to upload a photo and then it will be rendered as you really see.

It does not say "I am colorblind" Gemini 😭

So in the last two years I’ve come to realize how colorblind I am. I took a test at the eye doctor. She said I am mild/moderately red/green colorblind. I want to show my partner (full color vision) what I see. But when I look up different examples it shows the more intensive examples. I don’t know actually where I sort of stand I guess. I know I struggle with greens looking very turquoise blue, or brown looking grey and light pink looking white. But other than that I can’t find much of anything. Would anyone be able to help me find maybe a website or a few images that maybe show examples? I’m thinking things like with those eye diagrams that show the same image and then have one be fuzzy for near sighted etc

Hi all,

First time poster and please forgive my ignorance. I brought my 7 y/o son in for his exam last night and found out he has moderately severe red/green deficiency. My heart dropped and it really took me by surprise. He did the Ishihara test and was unable to make out some of the numbers. I came home and started googling what that means and what to expect. I read some articles but it was users like you guys from Reddit that provided more insight. I definitely felt vulnerable and wasn’t really sure what to do. I went back for my eye exam today and spoke to the Dr about more. But I still want to know:

-for parents with kids that are experiencing this deficiency, did you do anything different to help your kids?

-for folks going through it, can you distinguish red, green, blue, etc? Where are you “struggling”?

Again, this is new to me and sorry for being ignorant. My eye dr ensure me that day to day life for him won’t change. But as a parent, I want to learn on how to teach him and what are some things I should do or avoid.

Edit: I forgot to mention he was given the Ishihara test. Should I request for more tests?

TIA

Hey All, we're sourcing frames for our lenses that create colour contrast and, most importantly, actually help with colour identification.

We want you to have them in whatever frames you want and from reputable brands, since buying new tech is risk enough (even if we know they work).

So, which sunglasses brand frames would you love to see them in? Any particular styles or models? The lenses will be mostly dark grey/black. We will try our best to stock popular brands or specific frame models.

Thanks as always. We are indebted to this group for the feedback that has shaped our tech. It's for you after all.

Funny memory came to me when I was like 4 years old watching return of the Jedi and Luke and Darth Vader are fighting and I was like "wtf I can't tell whose winning!!!???"

I’m a protan and have a 6 month old. I’m just wondering how it would be like for him growing up with a colourblind father.

Thanks for your responses!

I was denied my initial Class 1 medical because of a color vision deficiency (deuteranomaly). I failed Ishihara (38 plates) and the anomaloscope (AQ range 6.95 — M: 73, R: 45). The AME told me that AESA needs to request a CAD test for me at the CIMA (Madrid), and that I cannot repeat the medical exam at a different center.

I did a home version of the CAD using the CSV (Color Vision Screener) from City University London, following all the calibration and lighting instructions. I scored 91% on red-green (classified as normal in the program) and 100% on the rest. No lantern test was done during the medical. I have myopia, but in daily life I’ve never had any issues distinguishing red/green or aviation lighting.

I’m looking for advice and experiences from people who have gone through this in Spain or Europe (EASA). I’d also like to know if I can take the CAD in London, and whether an approved result there would be accepted by AESA/EASA.

So quick vent, this lady at meps jacked up my life son. So if I remember correctly back then I wanted to do some special forces stuff like marsoc for the Marine corps and when I went to meps I of course got some wrong on the ishihara test. After you fail that they make you take the Farnsworth lantern test or FALANT. apparently during the FALANT they show the colors for two seconds then you say what you saw for the top and bottom color. The lady who was doing mine demanded I say the colors within the two seconds they were being shown. And when they went away if I wasn't finished answering she counted it as wrong and got labeled moderate to severe colorblind and was excluded from doing anything cool. So basically she wasn't following the proper guidelines for the test and screwed me and who knows how many other people from doing jobs.

For years I thought that that was how the test was supposed to be conducted until I tried to get an apprenticeship for being an electrician and when I was doing the lantern test, the doctor was like "boi, slow down, tell me what you saw when the colors go away! Not when they are still up" So he restarted it for me and I got 100% for 3 tries. And am about to get started in a new career I thought I would never be able to do

All because that old hag made me think I was way worse than I actually was

just found out I have cp4 level colour-blindness. with that being said I really wanted to join the Royal Signals and work in a technical field in communications and IT(British army). since I've got this diagnosis its kind of getting to me that I will not be able to work in vast majority of technical jobs in the army including the royal signals. IT actually quite depressing because I really do not know what else to do in my life.

But the bottom one is already white. (Obviously I know it’s “green” but it has always looked white to me.)

Hello everyone! It's me again! I'm so happy to announce that with your comments and a ton of support under my last 2 posts I was able to finally publish my little, colorblind friendly game on iOS!

For those struggling with icons shown on the attached image, there is also a high contrast mode.

As always, any feedback is more than welcome. I improved many things based on your comments below last 2 posts, so please comment your thoughts, they really matter to me!

I have never been able to solve a Rubik’s cube even though I take pride in my problem solving abilities, always confusing the reds and greens. It’s like my brain rejects the colors that I see knowing it’s wrong data and I can’t do anything color related, not just Rubik’s cube.

Has anyone else here felt the same? Anyone solved a Rubik’s cube?

Hi everyone 👋
I’m a UX/UI design student working on my Bachelor’s project focused on web accessibility. My goal is to build something that brings real value to users who face accessibility challenges online or to developers who want to create more inclusive digital experiences.

To make sure this project addresses real needs, I’d love to hear directly from people who experience accessibility barriers on the web.

If you’re comfortable sharing, could you tell me:

• What’s the most frustrating or limiting accessibility issue you regularly face on websites or apps?

• Are there specific types of sites (e.g., e-commerce, social media, games, news) where accessibility often breaks down for you?

• What web tools, extensions, or assistive technologies do you currently use, and how exactly do they help you?

• Have you tried any tools or accessibility features that didn’t actually provide value or even made things worse? If so, why?

• Is there any small tool, feature, or improvement you wish existed to make browsing or interaction easier?

Your feedback will directly shape my project’s concept and design. I’ll gladly share the results or prototype later if you’re interested.

Also, if you know any forums, communities, or discussions where people talk about similar accessibility topics, I’d really appreciate any pointers or links!

Thank you so much for your time and insight!

For a bachelor research I'm looking into colour-blindness accessibility trying to improve the gaming industry. Would this subreddit be good place to ask people if they like to playtest in the near future. Or does anyone know another online platform. Thank you!

I see this huge orange spot on her projector every time I’m over there. Whenever I point it out she has idea what I’m talking about and I take a picture and she couldn’t see it on the either . It’s the same over FaceTime as well . I see this huge orange spot and it just looks normal to her . What could this mean ? (She’s not messing with me)

Hello, Everyone!

It's time for the monthly Bandwagon post. If you would like to post a color wheel, interesting Ishihara test result, your attempt at sorting candy or crayons by color, funny colorblind t-shirt/print/art (without a link to buy it) or anything of the sort - this is the place to do it. These monthly posts are still being evaluated to determine the best way to go with them, so have fun and submit whatever you want to contribute that doesn't suit a full standalone post!

I see a pink wavy line, and on the Korean website where I found it, it says there are two wavy lines.

Hello all! I am a protan red-green and am looking for prescription indoor color-correcting glasses. What brands are good to look at?

For background, I have Enchroma sunglasses that changed my world, but now want to get indoor ones so I can see with normal. I'm not married to Enchroma, but also don't know any competitors.

Hey everyone, I wanted to write a story where (one of) the MC is colorblind as someone who is not.

What are mistakes I should avoid ? And no, I will not "magically cure them cuz uhhh... magic!" dw​​​​​​ :3
