Detailed Answer:
Hi Gel, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. It is unfortunate that you are red/green collar blind. Because of color blindness, you are having difficulty in reading letters of different colors. To help you, I need some information about your color blindness.
- Since when you are having color blindness?
- Do you have any history of stroke? especially in cerebellar area.
- In color blind Patient, reading letters of different color will be problematic. It will not signify Dyslexia. However if you are having difficulty in reading black colored letters and also writing letters wrongly, it can be dyslexia. Do you have such history?
- What is the duration of your reading difficulty?
- If you have refractive error, use glasses prescribed to you?
- Any history of chronic alcoholism, drug intake (medicinal)? Some medications impair brain functions!
I need these answers to reach unto some conclusion. It will be great help for me if you can provide me these answers.
If any doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
