The effect of vision impairment caused by dyschromatopsia.

Dyschromatopsia, commonly referred to as colour blindness, is a visual impairment that affects an individual's ability to perceive colours accurately. It occurs when the cone cells in the retina fail to function properly, hindering the person's ability to differentiate between specific colours or see them at all. The cones are responsible for detecting different wavelengths of light, which are interpreted by the brain as distinct colours.
