Girls have CVD too.
by: Claire on Wed, Jan 21 2009

I am a junior in highschool, and one of the few women who are color deficient. I have red-green CVD, and while it is not severe, it has caused problems with chemistry and if any teachers use notes from a computer projector. It also took a very long time for anyone to believe I was color deficient, and when I tell people, they rarely believe me.

If you think you may have CVD, take tests and get help, it will make the world so much better! I have not been able to get any tinted glasses because of my prescription/astigmatism, but they have really helped my dad, who is also red-green deficient.
