Color blindness, also known as daltonism, is a genetic condition that affects a person's ability to see and distinguish colors. This condition is often referred to as achromatopsia or monochromacy, as it causes individuals to see the world in shades of gray. Another term for color blindness is dyschromatopsia, which can refer to either a partial loss or complete absence of color vision. Additionally, some medical professionals may use the term color deficiency to describe this condition. Despite the different synonyms used to describe color blindness, the impact on individuals with this condition remains the same in terms of their daily life activities and experiences.
