Don Robertson asked the Naked Scientists:
When I joined the Air Force, years ago, they told me I was shade blind.
That I had a problem with red and green when I had trouble reading the numbers on the colour vision test chart. Although I feel I can see colours well, including red and green, I still occasionally have trouble seeing certain shades.
Could you tell me why that is, and why i have trouble seeing only such a small portion of colours?
Thank you great show.
Cheers
Don Robertson,

I don't know much about the physiology of this condition, but believe it is often hereditary.
