Watch the live feed transform in real-time to show how colors appear with CVD.

Four types of color vision deficiency

Each type affects how the eyes perceive different wavelengths of light. ColorLens simulates all four.

Protanopia

Red-blind. People with protanopia cannot perceive red light at all — reds appear dark, and red and green are difficult to distinguish.

Deuteranopia

Green-blind. The most common form of color blindness. Greens, yellows, oranges, and reds can appear similar and confusing.

Tritanopia

Blue-blind. A rare condition where blue and yellow colors are hard to distinguish. Blues appear greenish and yellows appear pink.

Achromatopsia

Complete color blindness. All color is lost — the world is seen entirely in shades of grey, affecting only 1 in 30,000 people.
