Pronunciation: [djˌuːtəɹɐnˈə͡ʊpi͡ə] (IPA)

Deuteranopia is a type of color blindness where the person is unable to differentiate between greens and reds. There are several synonyms used for deuteranopia, including green-blindness, red-green color blindness, deuteranomaly, and protanopia. These terms are used interchangeably but have different implications. Green-blindness refers to a complete absence of green-sensing cells in the retina, while protanopia is the inability to differentiate between green and red depending on their wavelength.
