An excellent book on a poorly understood condition

To my knowledge there are only two books on the subject of color blindness. This is an excellent account of the subject and I look forward to further editions of this book. I would suggest that future editions include a physiologist or neurophysiologist to beef up the sections dealing with the way the eyes work and the way in which they perceive colors. Treatment of the different types of color blindness could be improved by dealing with each type as a separate condition - and by specifying the mode of inheritance of each type. A chapter on legal aspects would also be welcome. Is colorblindness a qualified disability as defined by the americans with disabilities act? Is the school district legally required to accomodate (make adjustments for) color blind students? Unfortunately, there are still people out there who refuse to accomodate people with color blindness and other disabilities! The color blind community should insist on the installation of traffic signals that are visible to color blind people, and the flashing red light must go! It is a pity that the 23 million people with color blindness have been so quiet for so long. It is a pity that President Clinton, who is colorblind, did nothing to improve conditions for color blind people. This is an excellent account of a condition that is poorly understood and which is rarely accomodated either at school or in society.

One point..

I have worked in the field of opthalmology for about 8 years as an assistant and there is no such thing as color blindness only color deficency..if you were color blind you would be unable to see anything....make sure that you don't mislead the public..but it is a very informative book for the general public. Written with the patient in mind.

THANK YOU !!! Wonderful Resource!!!!

I have a 5 year old just diagnosed and this book was amazing to read. So many things came to light. His teachers and parents are now much better informed and my son's future is much brighter now that we understand his problem. Please have your child tested, and get this book if he is. You will be glad you did. I even bought extras for the school.

In Coping With Colorblindness, author Odeda Rosenthal explains in easy-to-understand language how colorblindness occurs, and what types of colorblindness exist. She looks at the history of color vision research; the problems related to colorblindness in women; the pros and cons of tests designed to detect colorblindness; and the unique products available to aid those with this problem. Dr. Robert Phillips includes specific techniques for coping using humor, positive thinking, relaxation techniques, support groups, and professional assistance. Ms. Rosenthal and Dr. Phillips address specific issues for concerned parents of colorblind children.
