Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2007Colour Blindness
After yet again being turned down for a job (this time, British Telecom), I thought I would post here. I have Protoanomalia (red-green colour blindness), and, athough I am quite capable of working with electricity, and/electronics, I am not allowed into the industry. Some years ago I wrote a short paper detailing, a method of more accurate diagnosis of Colour Blindness, and a possible cure. I forwarde the paper to Mrs Jennifer Birch (Senior Lecturer in Clinical Optometry, at City University, London), and whilst I was correct, about the more accurate diagnosis, my possible cure wouldnt have worked, since my knowlege of the dynamics involved was immature. Shortly after I came up with a new Idea, which is presented on the following web page, along with some initial experiments and research: http://www.fineartradiography.com/hobbies/colour/index.html I would very much like to hear from anyone who has an opinion, or constructive critisism, on my idea. Many thanks to everyone that read this Leslie Wright Why would you need to stain the eye? If a purple filter works, why not make a purple contact lens (or for that matter, a purple spectacle lens)? Other than all 3 methods will probably look silly. Regarding the vocational aspects of your disability, it is a relative one. Some color coding tasks in some wiring schemas are much more demanding than those involved with house-wiring. Precise color matching as found in chemistry are not really feasable for you, even with the kind of crutch (certainly not a cure) you are trying to devise. And burning out cones selectively with a laser is so potentially harmful that no doctor in his/her right mind would try it for such a common and, for most people, benign a condition. w.stacy, o.d. >http://www.fineartradiography.com/hobbies/colour/index.html > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > Why would you need to stain the eye?

I was considering staining the eye as an alternative to contact lenses, and spectacles, since the latter are removeable, hence the various industries, disallowing their use. Burning out cones with a laser, is most assuredly harmful, as agreed on by Jennifer Birch, more to the point it would not work, hence the idea involving staining the Vitreous humour with a wavelength selective dye. Crutch or cure the result would be permanent correction of colour vision. Leslie > After yet again being turned down for a job (this time, British > Telecom), I thought I would post here.

Ophthalmologists & vision scientists won't listen to a layperson's research.
