I see the colors just can't tell them apart. Its hard to explain.

Can you see the distinctive bands of the rainbow, or is your degree of color deficiency at the point where you can't see bands of color, but rather just a sheet of color with varying intensity?

Truth be told, only in the most perfect rainbow can I see 7 bands, most often I only see 4. I don't know if other people would see more than I'm seeing or not. I think in some cases the rainbow is just too weak, other times a few colors blend almost seemlessly.

I know my level of color deficiency isn't terrible, never enough to make life a challenge, mostly it only gets pointed out when others are around. However, I will say that shopping for clothes can be a nightmare. I usually ask for one of the employees if I stumble. :D

But I've always wondered what it is like for people who have it bad.

And another thing I muse about on occasion: how long until a cure is developed (I'm betting on stem cell research leading to genetic therapy leading to fixing the eyes - the uptight morality/ethics crowd be damned if they get in the way of something I so badly want to see happen before I die)... and on that note, when such a cure is administered, would it be like a mellow drug trip that lasts for a few months?
I mean... look at the colors, man!
I want it. Dammit I want it bad. :awe:

Yep, there is clearly a 3 in the middle of it.

I kid, :p there nothing there. (I'm not color blind. My eyes may have a lot of problems, but that isn't one of them.)

If by nothing you mean a an O then yes there is nothing there. :p

:) I saw it after posting, However, the colors for the 0 are pretty close to the surrounding colors, the only way I could pick it out was when I tilted my laptop screen and noticed that there was indeed a number there.

Lol same here, definitely a zero in the middle.
