A very interesting concept to try by yourself, I do wonder though if I may have been a bit sloppy or not, because when scoring I got 16. plate 9 was the problem here, I wrote down 21 but when you said that they correct number (for normal) is 74 i could clearly see it.
As someone with Red/Green troubles, I'm gonna start using "Color Deficiency" as a term a lot more often. Too many people, my parents included, talk to me about it like I outright can't see the colors.
@@DrJamesGill my teacher actually tried this test today, it scared me cuz I can't see red or green properly, and my classmates asked me "what color is that"
When someone opens up about being colorblind they need to understand that they are subjecting themselves to a lifetime of people going, “Oh really?? What color is this then??”
Green and red deficiency but i can distinguish solid red from green and know what it looks like. Its when they go into different shades that i just cant see it as what im supposed to.
Yep kids find it mind blowing my daughter and nieces ask me more than anybody has . Did have a geography teacher make fun of me and put me down in front of the hole class at school about it
When I was about 10 years old I kidded on I was colourblind so that I wouldn't have to take a maths test as it involved different coloured items on a table. The maths teacher even apologised to me and I couldn't believe I'd gotten away with it! Anyway, it turns out I am actually colourblind and it's limited my career choices ever since. I graciously accept the irony as its no less than 10 year old me deserves.
I have never had someone go through and explain my colorblindness in detail! Thank you so much for helping me figure out what kind of deficiency I have!! Your videos are amazing
It's because your eyes are genetically programmed to see in dim light, rods are more sensitive then cones. A lot of colour blind people have excellent eye sight in the dark. It's left over from the stone age before we knew how to light or start fires to see, especially in northern Europe. People with colour blindness are supposed to live in darker parts of the globe. I think at least if I'm not mistaken!
i've already been diagnosed years ago but its makes me laugh every time I try a test and I score miserably. great video and i'd love a more in depth video on what caused color deficiencies.
I was confused at first, I was able to see the numbers faintly in almost all of the cards and normally I can't see anything past the first 3. I figured out that the night mode on my monitor (that gives the monitor the warm orange tint) makes the numbers WAY easier to identify.
As someone who has struggled with red/green deficiency my entire life, please go into as much as possible about this topic, I would love to understand more about it. Thank you again for all that you do.
You may be slightly colour blind, but I bet you can see excellently in the dark. Colour blind people are more sensitive to light because rods are more adapt at detecting dim light. It's genetic. You must have some northern European blood in you!
I used to just call myself “lazy” with my colours. I could never be bothered saying whether things are light or dark blue for example. I didn’t believe in purple that kind of thing. I learned at 25 that I did have some version of colour vision problems albeit mild. And thanks to this video I’ve learned I have deuteranomaly. And even a mild version of that it looks like.
I sometimes get so bored i just watch anatomy or anything involving some form of a medical video, listening to Dr. James Gill while going to sleep is so soothing, the voice is subtle, comforting, I genuinely feel so relaxed.

I've always thought that my ability to perceive colours was impeccable. However, on the 12th plate, I could see 7, but it was hard to see 9 on the left side. I wrote the answer as 87 instead of 97.

Dr Gill! What happen if I got 16 (Because I didn't count #1 and #22 - " 25). It´s because first I try to overthink #19. First I thought it was #8 but then I put it was a #2. What shall I do?
Imagine going your whole life and only realising you're colour blind when you're a grown adult. That would make you so mad, you'd be seeing red. You assume.
Does your color deficiency affect your work in any way? For example, when checking an eye through an ophthalmoscope, are you able to see all the colors needed to make an accurate assessment? Just curious. Great video.

I'm 1 for 21. Strong Dutan. I can barely make out the numbers on the left of the last 4. Has anybody tried those glasses that claim to help color blind people?
This was super interesting! I've had the plates done numerous times, but I've never been given an explanation of how the scoring itself is done. I can't see full numbers in a lot of the plates (I can see parts of a number? Enough to make some sort of guess but nothing remotely close to the control plate) except for some of them where they're distinct and bold (like plates 14 & 15). For plates 18-21, I was able to see numbers in 18-20. Reminds me of being in the eye doc's office having to point out the number to my friend who accompanied me because I thought, "How come they can't see it, it's right there!" I see your bike gear as both yellow & blue at the same time but not green, if that makes sense. I try to avoid that color because it just breaks my brain to think about.
While I appreciate your care to differentiate between "seeing" and "perceiving", I take mild issue with it. "We" aren't just "wires in a box". My body is part of me, not just my vehicle. Edit: An interesting take on seeing/perceiving --- in the clip of you donning your riding gear, I perceived the gear as yellow, because you said yellow. Only after, when you said green, I paused on the image --- now I perceive the green.
That is exactly how I see holly berries on a bush. I tend not to be able to “see” them with my “hardware” But when I have found them up close, my “software” let’s me perceive them a little more easily
@@DrJamesGill I work with computers for a living. And this might not be as big a deal today. But I have found computer colors to not always be consistent. Especially with printers which still use a red, green, black, cyan color combination. Nowadays there probably isn't much difference. But I think there is still some difference
@@seanwillis8483 I work with printers all day --- the current full color standard is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (monitors use Red, Blue Green). I've never encountered the combination you mentioned. In any case, every printer has known limits --- the range of colors any given printer can accurately produce is called its "gamut", and any color which falls outside of that can only be approximated.
Agreed! Vision content is definitely interesting and oddly soothing. I was expecting to at least get a few as I don't consider myself that colorblind. I only got two right out of the first 20+, haha.
I got all of them correct except plate 19. I could actually make out a "2" on that plate, but it was incomplete. I could only see parts of the number. To explain it better, imagine if someone drew or sketched the number "2" in a specific font style on a piece a paper using a pencil, then they streaked an eraser through a couple parts of it. Parts of the "2" would now be missing, but you could still make out what it once was based on what remained. That's about how plate 19 looked to me. I could see parts of a 2's shape, but it wasn't all there.
@ 20:20 , Dr James states if you score 17 or over you are fine, and under 13, you have a colour deficiency .... what if you score 14 - 16 , what happens then ?
I loves this. I only got one plate wrong, so it seems I have normal color vision. However the plates 22-25, all the numbers on right were definitelly weaker colors than the ones on left.
I’m guessing that if you have scored high enough one wouldn’t even be presented with plates. I saw those plates as you did but does that mean there is a deficiency?
I got 14 on the test. I have problems seeing some shades of red. I've been told that i have red/green colourblindness as a kid but i didn't know the specific type. This video has been very informative.
in 18:52 , in the 26, the 2 is a brighter tone then 6, 2 is like orange and 6 is a pink even tho i can still see both... are they suposed to be the exact same tone?(i can see both just fine, but they aren't the exact same tone to me) if so then damn... it's so over... i might be a lil colourblind ggs
Does a doctor or nurse need to take into account their own color blindness or color perception issues when examining a patient, particularly if they need to be on the look out for certain visible signs such as blotches on the skin, pigment issues on moles, spots on palms, or other external skin issues?
Not really. The ABCD covers moles and there it is change in colour, not the colour itself that matters As for fluids and things - as a rule of thumb if a patient is leaking onto the floor, doesn’t really matter what colour it is… something isn’t right!
5:27 In that lighting, they are pretty close to the same color. I wouldn't call the jacket green, but I'd agree with anyone calling the helmet yellow. Photoshop says there's only 10 more green in the helmet as well. So in this shot at least, the helmet IS yellow.
8:54 - 9:10.... yes, 100000000% would love to see a video, or multiple videos deep-diving into all of that. Also, awesome job with this video. Incredibly well done and informative! Edit: thanks to this video i now know what MY particular deficiency is called... Deuteranopia
My optometrist gives me this test every year even though it's well documented that I'm a deuteranomaly. I'm not totally blind to green, but I do have a green deficiency. The amber and green traffic lights look similar to me. On the other hand, I find camouflage is less effective against how I see.
@ 9:00 as a past color correcting Photoshop nerd I could listen to color and body talk all day cuz a storm has been brewing in me since some system was activated in 2018 pain& inflammation wise. I need to know y I've had high WBC and platelets for 12 years now. Wish u could have a field day with me. The lymphatic system beyond the sore throat ones does not seem talked about in all the hundreds of doctors visits I have or my whole life ever. Could be this place😬the states, Midwest.
I guess I need more testing for myself. A lot of the pictures, I could see nothing at all. Even on 22-25, I could barely see the left numbers on 22 and 24, but couldn't make out 23 and 25.
It doesn't seem to be explained anywhere, but what if you don't see the "abnormal" numbers on some plates too? How would those be scored/interpreted? For example, at the speeds this test is given (3 seconds each), I can't really see anything on plate 3. I have to squint and know the number before I can even see a 5. I've had this issue with the test before in a general exam and the nurse didn't know what to make of it. It wasn't the point of the exam so they just wrote down Deuteranopia (confirmed from the 22-25 plates) and left it at that. I actually assumed that simply getting the wrong answer was enough to confirm the color deficiency and didn't realize there were "right" answers for the abnormal vision. So what does it mean when you don't see the correct abnormal answers either? PS - This isn't simply an issue with my monitor/phone when I take these test. This has happened before when taking the test in an office with good lighting too.
I have known I am colourblind since the age of about 8, but not until this video did I know I specifically have a mild green deficiency. Thank you Dr. Gill.
I noticed that the Ishihara book you used for the test was labeled to be a 38 plate edition, yet during the test, you only showed 25 plates. Are the other 13 plates used for the more rare cases of color deficiency?
I thought plate 8 was 13 and plate 9 was 71. The plates 10-17 were all just coloured blobs. Like, I can tell there's something there, I just couldn't really tell what. Does that make me colourblind?
I also have a problem with pinks and greys, but always thought that meant i had a problem with red color vision, not green. Why does pink (red+white) get affected by a lack of green cones?
wait, from plates 18-21 when you say normal people should see "nothing" , by nothing do you mean no numbers or they just see one color? Cause I see lines on all of those but they don't make numbers for me.
Hi there Dr Gill i need to ask did the Colour Deficiency can be cured or reduced little bit?i want to buy glasses which promising curing but i dont know did i need to beleive to that?? Im confused with some colours and from isahara test im correct 50 to 60 % not total colour blind thanks for answer Dr Gill
There isn’t a cure. Colour blind glasses work by applying a filter to CHANGE colours. It doesn’t allow people who are colourblind to SEE the original colours, but by changing the colour, allows us to see that, and the contrasts we miss
Well, to be honest, the example with the helmet is not quite good, as this fresh green colour is very similar to bright yellow. I also thought first, it is yellow, only when the angle of falling light changed, I saw, it is grassy green, and I do not have any problems with colours. Anyway, it is interesting to hear a good explanation about such things, thank you)
After knowing I have red-green deficiency for a few years, I finally get to know that it’s Deuteranomaly through this video. The doctor I saw didn’t even bother investigating further after knowing I couldn’t see the first few plates.
What colour blind do i have ? Couldn't see any numbers plates 2-3 and 4-5 then seen 2- 3 and 17-21. Plates 10-17 seen just dots. 18- 21 seen nothing. Its Deuteranomaly in the 22-25 plates. I have done colour matching tests and always score 100% normal. And looking at pictures of what I should be seeing I know how red tomatoes are how green the grass is etc.
Hey Dr, I could see most of the first series of plates (1-9), just a couple of the second series(10-17), and none of the third (18-21). I've always known I was red-green colorblind, but why can I see some of the ones I shouldn't be able to see, and also not be able to see the third series of plates that are designed for me to see? And I can see 22-25 with very little struggle, but the first numbers are the stronger ones. Whats wrong with me?
Colorblindness is an interesting phenomena, because without relying on outside sources, there's no way, I would be able to tell if I was afflicted with it.
Aren't series 2 - 9 plates 6-7 and so forth inccorect because the answers should be vice versa with the assumptions (incorrections)? I could only see 2 for left and 5 for right. I couldn't at all see those numbers listed.
I am still utterly stunned how the last few plates can show up as numbers for people affected yet not for people with normal vision. I can’t see where and how the numbers could even be made out! Does how does that even work!
I don’t know if it was my screen or the length each plate was shown, but I failed to see anything on 3-5, then only got 19 correct. For 22-25 I failed to see the right numbers on 22&23 (until I looked at them for longer at the end) but then got Mild Deutan on 24&25. I’m interested to know: under what circumstances a colourblind test be conducted? It doesn’t affect my daily life and I see it more as a quirk than a disability, although it did stop me playing a Gameboy Color mini-game on Zelda once.
why is the vibe of this video so pleasently calm? i just came here because i have a hard time with red/green/orange/brown or blue/purple for example and now i'm fighting my sleepines, despite the inresting topic at hand.. huh, apparently i have deuteranopia and protanomaly. i guess i'll visit my doctor soon
Hi Dr Gill, love your videos! I'm partially colourblind and this has given me a lot of info, I scored 3 on plates 2-21, but I couldn't see any numbers at all on plates 6-21, any idea what that means for me? Likewise when we went onto 22-25, I saw a 2 on plate 22, but nothing on 23-25! I always thought I had strong protan colourblindness but perhaps that's not quite right?
At the end, 10-17 you were naming numbers while me over here seeing a umbrella. Should I get my eyes checked for this if so, do you have what this could be called or I'm just seeing random things?
Thank you Dr. I appreciate your help with my question. I was just worried I might of had a problem with my eyes because I haven't been seeing things properly.
This video is very insightful as I have deuteranopia and it was very interesting to know about it, I've never taken to fully research why. I would like to see a follow up with a reason why this colour vision occurs
Hello dr. Gill, as a colour deficient myself (and an ASMR fanatic too) I find this video very interesting. I have a question: I am mild deutan, I have little issues at seeing greens, I've recently bought a pair of glasses for colorblindness because be able to see colours is an important thing for me in my life. They surprisingly allowed me to 100% easily pass the Ishihara test, when without wearing them I got something like 20% correct answers. By wearing them on, numbers popped out like crazy, it went from seeing literally nothing to clearly see a number there. It was exciting but then things went very wrong: I went outside looking at things around me and I noticed that greens weren't brighter at all, I couldn't distinguish them better than before, and, above all, reds were very awful, they became a sort of dull orange, i. e. the STOP road signals, that are notoriously bright red, with the glasses on, became dull brownish orange. The same happened with rooftops, they went from being brown-reddish (the right hue) to a sort of yellowish light brown. That was so disappointing. I am able, without the glasses, to see many shades of beautiful red, I'm sure about that. But with glasses on, red/magent did disappeared. Those glasses allowed me to pass the ishihara test but didn't help me at seeing colours at all. How is that possible? I think they are just some sort of reddish filter that CHANGE the ishihara plates colours in order to allow me to see the number (but if so, the test become useless for a deutan), and when you use them in real life, they literally sucks. If so, they're a huge scam. I'm very disappointed because i like to paint and draw and I've put many expectations on that. On the other hand, I also tried Enchroma glasses and I have to say they work very well, but darken everything too much. I'd really like to know your opinion about this story...do you think that could actually exist some glasses that allow you to see colours better? (I know it's an inherited condition, so we won't be able to see the full colours spectrum) Thank you.
A very detailed video. Thank you Doc! I can now defend to my work that even though I am a Deuteranomaly, I can always tell the difference between primary colors
I got a perfect score, so when I see your cycling helmet and jacket, they are the vague in between green and yellow fluorescent colour. Like a few shades more yellow than Granny Smith apples. If I was forced to say green or yellow, I’d say green, but they’re close. Helmet: 60 green / 40 yellow Jacket: 60 yellow / 40 green. Both have about the same shade/tone etc on fluorescent scale.
Dr James, what does it mean if i struggled only specifically with plates 10 to 13? I can clearly see the 'numbers' are a different color, but I'm really struggling to make out their shapes! I could see the color but couldn't tell what number it was 😧 everything else was clear as day?
question for you Dr. Gill - I scored normally on the test proper and was able to make out the numbers on 22-25. However, I noticed that I had an easier time reading some numbers than others, particularly with the final set of plates. can/ should anything be interpreted from this, or is this just narrowing down where I am in the range of "normal"?
The self test, and introduction to using the test at home starts @ 11:03
Thank you so much! Deuteranomaly GANG 👁
I scored 3 with normal vision. How bad is that?
A very interesting concept to try by yourself, I do wonder though if I may have been a bit sloppy or not, because when scoring I got 16.
plate 9 was the problem here, I wrote down 21 but when you said that they correct number (for normal) is 74 i could clearly see it.

Wow, you scared me for a second with the two last ones. Thanks
This was super interesting! I've had the plates done numerous times, but I've never been given an explanation of how the scoring itself is done. I can't see full numbers in a lot of the plates (I can see parts of a number? Enough to make some sort of guess but nothing remotely close to the control plate) except for some of them where they're distinct and bold (like plates 14 & 15). For plates 18-21, I was able to see numbers in 18-20. Reminds me of being in the eye doc's office having to point out the number to my friend who accompanied me because I thought, "How come they can't see it, it's right there!"
I see your bike gear as both yellow & blue at the same time but not green, if that makes sense. I try to avoid that color because it just breaks my brain to think about.
Do you see yellow in one eye and blue iiib the other? Or how does that work?
This was a great video. I’d never had it explained properly to me before. Strong green deficiency here 😮💨
While I appreciate your care to differentiate between "seeing" and "perceiving", I take mild issue with it.
"We" aren't just "wires in a box". My body is part of me, not just my vehicle.
Edit: An interesting take on seeing/perceiving --- in the clip of you donning your riding gear, I perceived the gear as yellow, because you said yellow. Only after, when you said green, I paused on the image --- now I perceive the green.
That is exactly how I see holly berries on a bush.
I tend not to be able to “see” them with my “hardware”
But when I have found them up close, my “software” let’s me perceive them a little more easily
@@DrJamesGill I work with computers for a living. And this might not be as big a deal today. But I have found computer colors to not always be consistent. Especially with printers which still use a red, green, black, cyan color combination. Nowadays there probably isn't much difference. But I think there is still some difference
@@seanwillis8483 I work with printers all day --- the current full color standard is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (monitors use Red, Blue Green). I've never encountered the combination you mentioned.
In any case, every printer has known limits --- the range of colors any given printer can accurately produce is called its "gamut", and any color which falls outside of that can only be approximated.
I never knew I had color deficiency. I had passed all the exam, cleared the interview for ATC OFFICER. Now it's over
Agreed! Vision content is definitely interesting and oddly soothing. I was expecting to at least get a few as I don't consider myself that colorblind. I only got two right out of the first 20+, haha.
Oops 😬
It’s always possible I’ve not colour corrected properly, as I can’t see them myself, so if you are concerned check with your optician 😊
So I noticed the ishihara book says 38 plates, but you stopped at 25, what are the rest of the plates for ?
Further confirmatory plates, but not routinely used
I got all of them correct except plate 19. I could actually make out a "2" on that plate, but it was incomplete. I could only see parts of the number. To explain it better, imagine if someone drew or sketched the number "2" in a specific font style on a piece a paper using a pencil, then they streaked an eraser through a couple parts of it. Parts of the "2" would now be missing, but you could still make out what it once was based on what remained. That's about how plate 19 looked to me. I could see parts of a 2's shape, but it wasn't all there.
Same here!
Why is this guy just so relaxing...
Most of the plates I cant see any numbers in, what does that mean?
I got recommended this on TH-cam. So I decided to watch.
I love your voice ❤
I listen to a bunch of asmr, nice soothing voice
Hope it was useful
@ 20:20 , Dr James states if you score 17 or over you are fine, and under 13, you have a colour deficiency .... what if you score 14 - 16 , what happens then ?
Just watched again, and Dr James explains , thank you
I think that our favorite doctor just accepted that he is a asmr king.
I REALLY ENJOYED this video !!!
I would love to see more videos like this in the future 👌🏻🙋🏻♂️
I loves this. I only got one plate wrong, so it seems I have normal color vision. However the plates 22-25, all the numbers on right were definitelly weaker colors than the ones on left.
I’m guessing that if you have scored high enough one wouldn’t even be presented with plates. I saw those plates as you did but does that mean there is a deficiency?
I got 14 on the test. I have problems seeing some shades of red. I've been told that i have red/green colourblindness as a kid but i didn't know the specific type. This video has been very informative.
in 18:52 , in the 26, the 2 is a brighter tone then 6, 2 is like orange and 6 is a pink even tho i can still see both... are they suposed to be the exact same tone?(i can see both just fine, but they aren't the exact same tone to me) if so then damn... it's so over... i might be a lil colourblind ggs
Does a doctor or nurse need to take into account their own color blindness or color perception issues when examining a patient, particularly if they need to be on the look out for certain visible signs such as blotches on the skin, pigment issues on moles, spots on palms, or other external skin issues?
Not really.
The ABCD covers moles and there it is change in colour, not the colour itself that matters
As for fluids and things - as a rule of thumb if a patient is leaking onto the floor, doesn’t really matter what colour it is… something isn’t right!
This is a great video and very comprehensive. I'm not colour blind or deficient but I am trying to learn for a friend. Thanks
This guy has a voice for bedtime stories. :)
dropping the comment mentioned in the video!! great content would love more!!
I’ll certainly look at it, I’ve not tackled any genetics videos, and it might dovetail with some more retina focused topics
5:27 In that lighting, they are pretty close to the same color. I wouldn't call the jacket green, but I'd agree with anyone calling the helmet yellow. Photoshop says there's only 10 more green in the helmet as well. So in this shot at least, the helmet IS yellow.
8:54 - 9:10.... yes, 100000000% would love to see a video, or multiple videos deep-diving into all of that. Also, awesome job with this video. Incredibly well done and informative!
Edit: thanks to this video i now know what MY particular deficiency is called... Deuteranopia
My optometrist gives me this test every year even though it's well documented that I'm a deuteranomaly. I'm not totally blind to green, but I do have a green deficiency. The amber and green traffic lights look similar to me.
On the other hand, I find camouflage is less effective against how I see.
@ 9:00 as a past color correcting Photoshop nerd I could listen to color and body talk all day cuz a storm has been brewing in me since some system was activated in 2018 pain& inflammation wise. I need to know y I've had high WBC and platelets for 12 years now. Wish u could have a field day with me. The lymphatic system beyond the sore throat ones does not seem talked about in all the hundreds of doctors visits I have or my whole life ever. Could be this place😬the states, Midwest.
I guess I need more testing for myself. A lot of the pictures, I could see nothing at all. Even on 22-25, I could barely see the left numbers on 22 and 24, but couldn't make out 23 and 25.
Thanks for the vid, such a good explanation between colour blindness and colour deficiency. I now know I have a deuteranopia deficiency!!
It doesn't seem to be explained anywhere, but what if you don't see the "abnormal" numbers on some plates too? How would those be scored/interpreted? For example, at the speeds this test is given (3 seconds each), I can't really see anything on plate 3. I have to squint and know the number before I can even see a 5. I've had this issue with the test before in a general exam and the nurse didn't know what to make of it. It wasn't the point of the exam so they just wrote down Deuteranopia (confirmed from the 22-25 plates) and left it at that.
I actually assumed that simply getting the wrong answer was enough to confirm the color deficiency and didn't realize there were "right" answers for the abnormal vision. So what does it mean when you don't see the correct abnormal answers either?
PS - This isn't simply an issue with my monitor/phone when I take these test. This has happened before when taking the test in an office with good lighting too.
Is there a Dr. Gill full head to toe physical exam video that lasts at least 20 minutes anywhere? The longer physical exams are my favorite.
Can you please do a video on night blindness?
Omg yes!
Not common, but I can see if I can include it in another video
Can a person have protanopia and deuteranopia simultaneously? Are they completely independent deficiencies?
I believe both is possible.
I have known I am colourblind since the age of about 8, but not until this video did I know I specifically have a mild green deficiency. Thank you Dr. Gill.
Your videos are so good!
Thank you. I try to do what would have helped me when I was learning this originally
I noticed that the Ishihara book you used for the test was labeled to be a 38 plate edition, yet during the test, you only showed 25 plates. Are the other 13 plates used for the more rare cases of color deficiency?
I thought plate 8 was 13 and plate 9 was 71.
The plates 10-17 were all just coloured blobs. Like, I can tell there's something there, I just couldn't really tell what.
Does that make me colourblind?
I also have a problem with pinks and greys, but always thought that meant i had a problem with red color vision, not green. Why does pink (red+white) get affected by a lack of green cones?
Thank you for helping me find the right word to describe my color deficiency
wait, from plates 18-21 when you say normal people should see "nothing" , by nothing do you mean no numbers or they just see one color? Cause I see lines on all of those but they don't make numbers for me.
Hi there Dr Gill i need to ask did the Colour Deficiency can be cured or reduced little bit?i want to buy glasses which promising curing but i dont know did i need to beleive to that?? Im confused with some colours and from isahara test im correct 50 to 60 % not total colour blind thanks for answer Dr Gill
There isn’t a cure. Colour blind glasses work by applying a filter to CHANGE colours.
It doesn’t allow people who are colourblind to SEE the original colours, but by changing the colour, allows us to see that, and the contrasts we miss
@@DrJamesGill thanks Dr James i wish u wonderful day😀
👍 likewise 😊
You are awesome !! I enjoy your videos. Oddly enough they calm me down.
Why do I see 71 on the 9 th plate
I also got 71 on that one. I can see the acfual number after he said it but the 71 still stands out to me more.
Well, to be honest, the example with the helmet is not quite good, as this fresh green colour is very similar to bright yellow. I also thought first, it is yellow, only when the angle of falling light changed, I saw, it is grassy green, and I do not have any problems with colours. Anyway, it is interesting to hear a good explanation about such things, thank you)
After knowing I have red-green deficiency for a few years, I finally get to know that it’s Deuteranomaly through this video. The doctor I saw didn’t even bother investigating further after knowing I couldn’t see the first few plates.
What colour blind do i have ? Couldn't see any numbers plates 2-3 and 4-5 then seen 2- 3 and 17-21.
Plates 10-17 seen just dots.
18- 21 seen nothing.
Its Deuteranomaly in the 22-25 plates.
I have done colour matching tests and always score 100% normal.
And looking at pictures of what I should be seeing I know how red tomatoes are how green the grass is etc.
Hey Dr, I could see most of the first series of plates (1-9), just a couple of the second series(10-17), and none of the third (18-21). I've always known I was red-green colorblind, but why can I see some of the ones I shouldn't be able to see, and also not be able to see the third series of plates that are designed for me to see? And I can see 22-25 with very little struggle, but the first numbers are the stronger ones. Whats wrong with me?
Colorblindness is an interesting phenomena, because without relying on outside sources, there's no way, I would be able to tell if I was afflicted with it.
Aren't series 2 - 9 plates 6-7 and so forth inccorect because the answers should be vice versa with the assumptions (incorrections)? I could only see 2 for left and 5 for right. I couldn't at all see those numbers listed.
Man your voice is so soothing
I am still utterly stunned how the last few plates can show up as numbers for people affected yet not for people with normal vision. I can’t see where and how the numbers could even be made out! Does how does that even work!
I don’t know if it was my screen or the length each plate was shown, but I failed to see anything on 3-5, then only got 19 correct.
For 22-25 I failed to see the right numbers on 22&23 (until I looked at them for longer at the end) but then got Mild Deutan on 24&25.
I’m interested to know: under what circumstances a colourblind test be conducted? It doesn’t affect my daily life and I see it more as a quirk than a disability, although it did stop me playing a Gameboy Color mini-game on Zelda once.
why is the vibe of this video so pleasently calm? i just came here because i have a hard time with red/green/orange/brown or blue/purple for example and now i'm fighting my sleepines, despite the inresting topic at hand..
huh, apparently i have deuteranopia and protanomaly. i guess i'll visit my doctor soon
Hi Dr Gill, love your videos! I'm partially colourblind and this has given me a lot of info, I scored 3 on plates 2-21, but I couldn't see any numbers at all on plates 6-21, any idea what that means for me? Likewise when we went onto 22-25, I saw a 2 on plate 22, but nothing on 23-25! I always thought I had strong protan colourblindness but perhaps that's not quite right?
At the end, 10-17 you were naming numbers while me over here seeing a umbrella. Should I get my eyes checked for this if so, do you have what this could be called or I'm just seeing random things?
Might be worth while seeing your optician if you have concerns
Thank you Dr. I appreciate your help with my question. I was just worried I might of had a problem with my eyes because I haven't been seeing things properly.
Am i the only one who saw the helmet as yellow instead of green?
Helmet looked yellow to me
This video is very insightful as I have deuteranopia and it was very interesting to know about it, I've never taken to fully research why. I would like to see a follow up with a reason why this colour vision occurs
I’ll try and put together a genetics video soon
Hello dr. Gill, as a colour deficient myself (and an ASMR fanatic too) I find this video very interesting.
I have a question: I am mild deutan, I have little issues at seeing greens, I've recently bought a pair of glasses for colorblindness because be able to see colours is an important thing for me in my life.
They surprisingly allowed me to 100% easily pass the Ishihara test, when without wearing them I got something like 20% correct answers. By wearing them on, numbers popped out like crazy, it went from seeing literally nothing to clearly see a number there.
It was exciting but then things went very wrong: I went outside looking at things around me and I noticed that greens weren't brighter at all, I couldn't distinguish them better than before, and, above all, reds were very awful, they became a sort of dull orange, i. e. the STOP road signals, that are notoriously bright red, with the glasses on, became dull brownish orange.
The same happened with rooftops, they went from being brown-reddish (the right hue) to a sort of yellowish light brown.
That was so disappointing. I am able, without the glasses, to see many shades of beautiful red, I'm sure about that. But with glasses on, red/magent did disappeared.
Those glasses allowed me to pass the ishihara test but didn't help me at seeing colours at all. How is that possible?
I think they are just some sort of reddish filter that CHANGE the ishihara plates colours in order to allow me to see the number (but if so, the test become useless for a deutan), and when you use them in real life, they literally sucks. If so, they're a huge scam.
I'm very disappointed because i like to paint and draw and I've put many expectations on that.
On the other hand, I also tried Enchroma glasses and I have to say they work very well, but darken everything too much.
I'd really like to know your opinion about this story...do you think that could actually exist some glasses that allow you to see colours better? (I know it's an inherited condition, so we won't be able to see the full colours spectrum)
Thank you.
A very detailed video. Thank you Doc!
I can now defend to my work that even though I am a Deuteranomaly, I can always tell the difference between primary colors
I got a perfect score, so when I see your cycling helmet and jacket, they are the vague in between green and yellow fluorescent colour. Like a few shades more yellow than Granny Smith apples.
If I was forced to say green or yellow, I’d say green, but they’re close.
Helmet: 60 green / 40 yellow
Jacket: 60 yellow / 40 green.
Both have about the same shade/tone etc on fluorescent scale.
i’m interested in learning more about color defiencey? Thank you Brena
Fascinating. Could we please have more about colour vision?
Dr James, what does it mean if i struggled only specifically with plates 10 to 13? I can clearly see the 'numbers' are a different color, but I'm really struggling to make out their shapes! I could see the color but couldn't tell what number it was 😧 everything else was clear as day?
Many thanks for the video. Your voice is low which I like, but the ads jump in too loudly.
question for you Dr. Gill - I scored normally on the test proper and was able to make out the numbers on 22-25. However, I noticed that I had an easier time reading some numbers than others, particularly with the final set of plates. can/ should anything be interpreted from this, or is this just narrowing down where I am in the range of "normal"?
