[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 5389, member: 1697"] I just had a hard time last nite wondering if there would be school related issues related to it..... I found some very intersting things online- some about videogaming and difficulties....some about maps.....it was.....a learning experience, LOL. I never did understand why previous eye docs had such strange "professional opinions" on my sons colorblindness.....they would say it was "inconclusive" ....but yesterday the eye doctor said nope not inconclusive at all.total red'green and also blue. His teachers thru the years DID penalize him for not learning his colors as fast as they thought he should.....and for not coloring things the colors they told him to color them......but now he is in middle school, I just was not sure how much it might be an issue. Seems more of an issue than I realized last nite.....but, not a humongous issue in the big picture of his life. :-) - just another little stumbling block for us to stub our toe on from time to time, maybe? One of those things where I think gosh, I wish this weren't so..... Losing the sight in his one eye REALLY devastated me at first.....but..truth is it really is not quite the horribly terrible thing it seemed at the moment. The good news is my son takes it all in stride, and with the color, well, he never knew any other way, anywyay. But I will now know to be a little more aware..... I suppose whatever it is he sees, how he sees, by now he has already figured out well, thats this color, no matter what it looks like to him.....(yes, unless things are similar or side by side or whatever....) and when he thinks "I" am goofy cuz I see something somewhere that he can;t see, LOL......I will hafta remember oh gosh, maybe he really can't see it. Just like I hafta stop and remember he cannot see 3 D. [/QUOTE]
