Impact of congenital colour vision deficiency on education and unintentional injuries: findings from the 1958 British birth cohort

Congenital colour vision defects (CVD) are common, inherited (most commonly X linked), non-progressive, and untreatable disorders. 1 2 Screening children for these disorders is established practice in the United Kingdom, primarily so that those affected can be advised about occupational preclusions. Population based work on the broader impact of colour vision defects is, however, limited.
