How to tell if you have color blindness

Over 3 Million people a year learn they have some form of color blindness, but many are unable to self-diagnose. NYU Ophthalmologist Dr. Joel Schuman knows the best ways to determine how to tell if you're colorblind, and how that will affect your life.

I'm not colorblind but I see my life very dull.

I've been living 23 years of my life. And just for curiosity I tried doing color blind test and always got 60% of all answers. Red-green minor colorblind. It doesn't really affect my life. I can clearly distinguish red-green, but somehow not in these tests)

I didn't realized that I have this until I reached 17. Sometimes you notice that you don't perceive as the other people but you don't care. I went to the doctor after too many failed missions of bringing something from determined color. Haha

I have moderate protan. I find it interesting because the way I found out was that colorblind can run genetically through males. My grandpa used to be a pilot and wasn’t allowed to fly at night due to not being able to see certain lights!

This guy has no idea of what color blind people actually experience. It sounds like he is spouting what he has read in books. He obviously didn't bother to speak to a color blind person prior to making this video.
