Complete color blindness affects schooling. While corrective lenses can help identify colors, they cannot cure the condition—color blindness persists when the lenses are removed. Currently, no treatment exists for color blindness, including neither medications nor surgery. It is a hereditary disorder characterized by an inability to perceive one or more colors, and it is particularly common among males with red-green color blindness.
