protanopia
Missing red perception
Protanopia is a form of color blindness in which red light cannot be perceived.
People with protanopia confuse reds with greens and see the world in shades of blue and yellow.
The condition results from missing or defective red cone cells in the retina.
His protanopia made traffic lights difficult to distinguish.
