Understanding Color Blindness

The video explains color blindness, a vision problem where certain colors are hard to distinguish due to malfunctioning cones in the eyes. It describes the roles of rods and cones, with rods responsible for black and white vision and cones for color detection. There are three types of cones, each perceiving red, green, or blue light, which together allow us to see a full spectrum of colors. Color blindness occurs when one or more types of cones do not function properly, leading to difficulties in distinguishing certain colors, such as in red-green color blindness.
