Whether color weakness is inherited and the probability of inheritance are related to the type of color weakness, such as congenital color weakness and acquired color weakness.

1. Congenital color weakness

Congenital color weakness has a certain genetic tendency, most of which is recessive on the X chromosome. The genetic probability is 5.14% for men and 0.73% for women.

2. Acquired color weakness

Acquired color weakness is considered to be caused by drug poisoning, cataracts, retinal diseases, etc., and has no genetic tendency and generally does not occur.

Patients can go to the hospital ophthalmology department for a false isochromatic diagram examination, hue arrangement test, color vision mirror examination, etc. to confirm the diagnosis.
