      It’s really not that bad. There is a good chance you can go through life with a mild red/green blindness and never notice it.

      I only learned that I had it when they did the medical exam for joining the Army. And the only other time it effected me was during shop class, when I regularly used the wrong electric resistors when building my circuts, even though all my drawings and calculations where correct. Well, they are very small and colour coded with just the wrong colours … but I only figured that out years later when I got my diagnosis from the medical.
