这个色盲创造了一个应用程序，让人们了解和应对色盲

Color blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. It is estimated that around 300 million all around the world suffer from color blindness. This vision deficiency can be caused by genetics or various diseases such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis. The most common form of color blindness is the inability to see green and red properly, but there are different types and different severities of this condition. While it is hard to understand for most people how color blindness even works, some people who have it often struggle to realize it too, if their condition is not that severe.

全球约有1 / 12的男性(8%)和1 / 200的女性患有色盲。据估计，全世界大约有3亿人患有色盲。这种视力缺陷可能是由遗传或各种疾病引起的，如糖尿病或多发性硬化症。色盲最常见的形式是不能正确地看到绿色和红色，但这种情况有不同的类型和不同的严重程度。虽然对大多数人来说，很难理解色盲是如何工作的，但如果他们的情况没有那么严重，一些患有色盲的人也常常很难意识到这一点。

Created by a colorblind person, Color Blind Pal app allows people with vision deficiency to differentiate between colors better and recognize them
