-Protanomaly (one out of 100 males)


-Deuteranomaly (five out of 100 males)


-Dichromasy - can be divided into protanopia and deuteranopia (two out of 100 males)

Causes of colourblindness

Most of the people who suffered from colorblindness are due to genetic reasons (inherited)

The males, because the common form of colour vision deficiency is encoded on the X-sex chromosome.
