Dr. Wang Shuai
Treating color blindness is a complex issue. Currently, color blindness cannot be completely cured, but symptoms can be alleviated and color recognition improved through certain methods.
1. Acupoint massage: By pressing the "Si Bai" acupoint located below the eye, eye function can be effectively enhanced and color perception errors reduced, providing some relief for color vision abnormalities.
2. Color-blindness correction glasses: Wearing corrective lenses can help alleviate color blindness, enabling individuals to distinguish colors more accurately.
As a congenital and hereditary condition, color blindness is particularly challenging to treat. Current medical technology does not allow for genetic modification, making it impossible to cure color blindness at its root.
