Disadvantages Of (hroma Glassess

Nineteen college students (14 women, 5 men, age range: 19-25 years, Mage = 23 years) on the campus of Queens College, were recruited by flyers, and were not compensated for their participation. They reported having normal vision and no impairments in color vision.

Colorblindness is the term in racism that best assumes to end the racial biasness and discrimination. Without the respect to ethnicity, race or culture, the concept of colorblindness is believed to end the concept of racism (colorblindness alone, however, is not enough). However, the minorities group sometimes finds the concept of colorblindness quite biased. It is because they feel it as a way which tries to “end” the racism by using the color that they have as a person. The color blinded person cannot distinguish any color either its white or black. So the black people think that how can they end the racism when the concept of colorblindness completely forgets black color? But personally, I think that colorblindness can help to normalize the racial discrimination. It might seem like it’s not going to help instantly but eventually, it’s going to bring some positive result in terms of racial discrimination and biasness. Even in the test that I took, I was identified as colorblind. This helped me go through the test very well. I also believe that my

Could orange colored lenses dictate my future? Would they change the way my friends see me? Would they help me get through high school and into college? These are just a few questions I found myself struggling with seven years ago. In fourth grade while reading audibly, my teacher noticed I might have a reading disability. As I skipped lines, mixed up words, and even confused words as others, my teacher discussed the concern with my parents. Were there eye problems, was it dyslexia or a learning disorder? Being that all of these conditions were checked, with no conclusive answer, we only knew I was behind on my reading and comprehension skills.

As of now I am colorblind; I see the world in black and white. I am waiting for the day that I finally experience the explosion of color that the world is. From La Tomatina, an annual tomato fight in Valencian, Spain to more disturbing traditions like the “Mourning of Muharram” where Shia Muslims attach knives to whips and beat

An individualistic, non-discriminatory approach being progressive is what makes colorblindness a dangerous and destructive concept, because it ignores the problem, therefore, the attempt at a solution to systematic and collective racism. In this paper, I will identify the flaws in both racist imitation of colorblindness and the concept and execution of colorblindness itself. The purpose will be to signify the importance of

The idea of a colorblind society assumes colorblindness is a something we should hope to achieve. But does colorblindness help or fight racism? Colorblindness treats racial inequality as prejudice on an individual basis. This enables it to ignore what has happened in history. By being colorblind, we are fixated on a past understanding of race and racism. Embracing color blindness eliminates racial awareness and thus eliminates the need for accountability for the white supremacy that exists in America

Not to mention, they don’t work very well. As a kid, I read everywhere I could. “Everywhere” included the dim backseat of a moving car, by the glow of passing streetlights—a location not exactly conducive to the healthy usage of one’s corneas. This led to painful years of pink-rimmed glasses I despised and refused to wear.

The article “Gene therapy for red- green colour blindness in adult primates” by Katherine Mancuso and her colleges is about the possibility of curing color blindness. This test was done on adult squirrel monkeys that were missing the L- opsin gene. Out of the three cones humans have (short (S), long (L), or the middle (M) photoreceptor) only the L-or-M cone is responsible for red- green colour blindness. Many female squirrel monkeys have the ability to access all three photoreceptors giving them the ability for trichromatic color vision, but males are dichromats meaning they are missing the L-or- M gene causing them to be color blind. In order to correct this color deficiency a third type of pigment was added to the monkeys retinas to provide them with the receptors that are necessary in order obtain trichromatic color vision. Over the span of a year the scientists observed that before the treatment the monkeys couldn’t decipher between blue green and red violet. After they started to develop a new pigment (due to the injection) in the cone photoreceptors scientists discovered that the monkeys now reacted to the colors they couldn’t see before. The scientists concluded primates benefited from the injection and that they were able to see colors they were invisible to them before, and that the findings in this experiment could

The ability to see color is something that many people take for granted. But, there are many people who go about life thinking that their vision is “normal,” when they are really experiencing their sense of sight through a color vision deficiency.

As many people have different appearance, people also are color blind. In recent day, people who are color blind usually treat from others, since they had contrary inner appearance. People who are color blind, they catch out the grass as orange. Either, they cannot distinguish between two different colors. To someone who are color-blind, a green leaf might look gray, and stunned observers eyed strangely. However, we could not detected anything erroneous with the “Eye”. People is completely matter of fact, usually, the overall situation is beneficial, despite a few minor problems. Nonetheless, there was already immense problem settle down on the middle of human’s perspective. Therefore, the people who were already color-blinded, receiving exceptional

Being colorblind seems like a great concept because people would be treated evenly because there would be no favoritism caused by ethnocentrism or racism. The problems caused by seeing people by color are too frequent now and plays a big role in what is now called modern racism. Usually people part of the dominant group, have no problems with modern racism such as problems like getting jobs and the discrimination that comes with it. I feel as though if everyone was colorblind everyone could have a fair chance. Not only would it give those that have less chances because of modern racism. It could also get everyone together and people would not judge each other as much as they do now. It could help unify everyone of different races, gender, ethnicities,

An optamaligist known as Dr. Ralph Chu and Dr. Rex Hamilton have made some ground breaking discoveries in helping to prevent fading close up vision. They have made an amazing eye plant called the rain drop. The rain drop helps with reshaping the cornea so it can focus better and faster. One of the most important ways it helps people with close up vision is to be able to read better. According to Dr. Ralph Chu, “this is one of the most significant advances in apthomology in 20 years. The reason why it is so important is because it can remove the need for reading glasses in anyone that affected by presbyopia also known as the aging eye. The lenses costs 4000$ to get implanted are not covered by insurance.

These include the reduction of distances, increasing text size, and magnifying objects. There are many aids available to help individuals with reduced vision, one of them being the Merlin which is a desktop magnifier that uses colour, black and white, and a voice activation feature. It is important for nurses to be aware of all interventions so that they are knowledgeable in the ones that may help their client the most. A nurse would be most responsible for the environmental interventions as well as the healthy lifestyle choices their clients can implement as they are the most nursing related, and not medical related. The future trend for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration looks to be improving as studies are being conducted on gene therapy, human retinal transplantation, artificial vision, retinal prosthesis and neuroprotection. “Macular degeneration continues to present a challenge to individuals who are striving for independence in functioning, as well as to professionals looking for intervention strategies that might prevent or alter the nature of the condition.” (Feret, Steinweg, Griffin, & Glover,

“Achromatopsia affects roughly 1 in 33,000 Americans.” (2) Achromatopsia is a condition in which a person loses partial or all of their ability to see color and can also be referred to as achromatism, rod monochromatism, or total color blindness. It is the result of a change in one of the following genes: CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C, or PDE6H. Achromatopsia is a disorder that affects the retina, which is the part of the eye that is sensitive to light and forms visual images. Inside the retina is two different types of light receptor cells, called rods and cones. These cells use a process called phototransduction to send visual signals from the eye to the brain. Mutations in any of the genes above disrupt the phototransduction process, affecting

Color not only employs the attribute a person beholds, but is also an aiding tool to unearth decipherable context that is hidden within the
