(Editor’s note: The following is an article
in THE TIMES’ continuing series on subjects of
public interest in the fields of science and medi
cine. It was taken from a lecture by Dr. David
Dzik at an Optometric Seminar in Atlanta,
Georgia, last month.)
* * * *
Color-blind people usually think that
everyone sees things the same way they do
until people call their deficiency to their at
tenion.
About 5 per cent of all men and boys, and
one out of 200 women have a color deficiency
to green and red. Since yellow or blue color
blindness is very rare, optometry is encouraging
the public authorities to mix the red with a yel
low, to help the person blind to red, and to mix
the green with a blue, to help the person blind
I. to green, in standard red and green traffic
;|; lights.
Optometry has also been trying to get
stardardization in the positions of the lights
in all traffic signals. Red should be at the top
and green at the bottom so that people who
are color-deficient to red or green will know
that when the too light is bright it means
! ' stop, and when the bottom light is bright, it
means go.
DANGERS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS
There are some dangers and disappoint
ments in preparing for a career in which color
blindness or color deficiency is a handicap. In
the practice of many professions, such as
chemistry, the accurate recognition of color may
play an important role.
Of course, the teacher real;zes that chil
dren who are totally or partially color-blind
will be frustrated in those situations which
require color discrimination. It would help
the teacher to know whether or not the child
ifSttotally or partially color-blind. We suggest
that the teacher test the child’s ability to
identify at least the primary colors (red,
green, and blue). It would, of course, be the
height. of foBy' to attempt to teach a color
blind" individual to discriminate between red
and green. Not only would that be a sheer
waste of the teacher’s time, but also, and
more important, disturbing emotional factors
could be introduced. A color “weakness”
term would have less emotional impact upon
a child than if he were bluntly labeled color
“blind”, and it should be thought of as a sepa
rate defect, not related to intelligence, per

CAREER PREPARATION
In preparing for a career, the color-defi
cient student sould be guided by his teacher and
vocational guidance advisor to those fields
where the ability for color discrimination is not
requred. In certain occupations a normal color
sense is of utmost importance. Here’s a list of
some of the fields in which color-deficiency is
a disadvantage:
Military Academies candidates, biolog
ists, bombardiers, chemists, color printers,
decorators, deep sea divers, dyers, electric
ians, engineers, firemen, florists, geologists.
Jet pilots, map makers, medical practi
tioners, milliners, navigators, optometrists,
painters, railroaders, surveyors, tailors, truck
and auto drivers, upholsterers, and weavers.
HUNTING COLORS
Optometrists were the first to question
the safety of traditional hunting red, and
were the first to undertake research to find
safer colors. All colors except red, turn to
shades of gray as the light dims before they
turn to black. Red, however, changes
abruptly to black. Tests have shown that red
is definitely not the quickest and easiest color
to identify.
One and one-half million American hunt
ers are color-deficient to red and green or partly
so, and many hunters can’t distinguish between
the red of a hunter’s coat and the green of a
tree. We have hunting casualties because color
blind hunters see the red “warning” colors as a
brown or black.

military and conservation officials, the Na

NOT CURAltLE
True color-blindness cannot be cured by
optometrists or anyone else. As far as is known
'’ay, color-blindness is permanent.

cational guidance advisor, or your family op
