Color Deficincies

Individuals who are color blind are still capable of seeing color yet struggle to distinguish specific colors from one another. Making color deficiency even more complicated is those who are color blind have issues with identifying specific colors while other patients with the same deficiency cannot see different colors than others. Our eye doctor is here to help treat your color blindness, regardless of which colors you cannot distinguish from one another. Though there is no cure for this eye problem, specialized glasses and contact lenses complete with filters help minimize color deficiency. Specific adaption methods are available to help patients properly identify colors and see the world around them as it actually is. Treatment modalities for color deficiency continue to evolve as time progresses.

Meet with Dr. William Burnett, O.D. at Expert Eyecare and we will determine which treatment is ideal for your unique color blindness. Those who suffer from color deficiency will be happy to learn a cure for this condition might be on the horizon. Individuals who inherit color deficiency might soon be treated with gene technology that injects genetic material in the eye. In the meantime, our eyecare specialists will treat your color vision with widely accepted and proven treatment modalities to ensure you see colors as they actually are.
