Dr. Wang Shuai
Color blindness primarily affects a person's ability to distinguish certain colors within the natural light spectrum. To cope with color blindness, the following measures can be taken: 1. Understand and accept: Learn about the type and severity of color blindness, and recognize how it impacts daily life and work. 2. Use assistive tools: Individuals with color blindness can use color-correcting glasses or special filters to aid color perception, enhance color contrast, and help differentiate colors. 3. Adjust lifestyle: Choose careers or activities that have lower demands on color vision in employment, education, and daily life to minimize inconvenience caused by color blindness. If necessary, consult an ophthalmologist.
