About Ten years ago i once got hit really hard. i think at the back of my head. After that i slowly loses my sight on color. The first two year It appears to be kind of partial colorblind. I went on to check it to doctor and confirm it. At the start of third year after the accident Its full colorblind. I wasnt find any useful information about my condition since all they say that Its supposed to be hereditary and straight from birth. Finally i know this shit exist. Thankyou bro
A hit to the back of the head could definitely cause partial color blindness if the hit was in the right place and sufficiently violent. I'm glad that you found the video informative!
God, I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine a life without color. Do you think induced synesthesia (as in, by psychedelics) could offer a glimpse of color again?
My husband has been colorblind his whole life but has told me that he thinks it is getting worst as he ages. Cousin he just have had this condition and now getting worst
And that means u would be constantly hearing a noise, and yeah, if thats the case go see a doctor. No no no i mean not cuz u can hear colors thats not possible, i meant go take a iq test cuz ur iq looks concerning.
In ur. (. ) U cant hear colors And i dont know why i wasted time with u. 6 secs of my precious 100 year life wasted to a idiot called ”drunken by the numbers of 0 iq in my brains”. I demand a refund for my 5 seconds wasted 🥸
Achromatopsia is a defined congenital eye condition - the opsia at the end means it's in the eye not the brain. Achromatopsia is way more than just colourblindness - the cones - the photoreceptors that see colour - are missing, but they do more than just detect colour. They help you see in light, in detail and at a distance. Thus people with Achromatopsia are generally less concerned about their loss of colour vision than you might think. The Rods - whcih help you see in dim light, and detect movement and help with peripheral vision - still work. Thus people with achromatopsia prefer dusk and dawn, will usually wear some kind of sunglasses and will not be able to see things at a distance. This video is interesting but is not about Achromatopsia. Those of us with it have not 'forgotten' our colours. Maybe change the title so it's not so misleading?
You are incorrect. My video is about cerebral achromatopsia, as indicated by the fact that my video(s) are about brain damage (The Ways Your Brain Can Break). You are talking about a type of congenital achromatopsia, which is a different disorder. I speak about broken brains, not broken eyes, in this video. The suffix -opsia does NOT mean it is in the eye, and plenty of other disorders not occurring in the eye but concerning vision (see Akinetopsia) use the same naming convention.
@@ARTexplains I stand corrected on the 'opsia' - you're right, my apologies. As someone who hadn't seen one of your videos before I didn't know that they were all about brain damage. I was looking for some information for someone else and started watching this partly because the title annoyed me - I spent time in a remedial class because a teacher wanted me to "learn my colours", despite my parents telling her it wasn't that I hadn't learnt/was forgetting them, it was that I couldn't see them. Lack of colour vision also seems to be what interests people most about the condition, although it is quite frankly the least important of the symptoms. As far as I am aware the congenital condition is commonly just called Achromatopsia, whereas the aquired condition due to brain damage is always called Cerebral Achromatopsia - do you see what I'm saying? (On diagnosis the Dr's tell people they have Achromatopsia, whereas I'm guessing that they would always say Cerebral Achromatopsia if it was to a brain patient?) And although the congenital condition is rare there are still a significant amount of people with it. I don't know enough about the cerebral condition but I'm guessing it doesn't have all the other issues that a lack of cones causes for someone, and it seems to be much much rarer. Yours is the first video that comes up if you search Achromatopsia, and I just felt the title was not helpful. I know you go on to explain a bit about the difference between the two. It's a great video just not helpful if you are looking for information on Achromatopsia.
This is a good video. I had seen color my whole life till I got hit by 480 while working on some wiring. Then a few months later I noticed that the color in my left eye was starting to " muddy out" then it went black white. I figured that I'll sooner or later lose color in my other eye but that wouldn't happen till 2 years later. The summer of this year was the last time I've seen color. It's odd because since I was 50% 50% I spent a lot of time memorizing shades while swapping between eyes. So I can infer color based on location. But if I've never been there before I lost all color. I am lost. Games suck to play, jobs don't understand

ARTexplains Science and History Yes, the date synesthesia helps a lot while thinking about the long term events. In my case, I perceive the year as a giant circle, being my perspective in the current month. If we go one step further, I can distinguish the days of the week in two categories: work days (Mon to Fri) weekend (Sat and Sun), these last are as large as the other five and are situated on top of them. This form can change if a mayor event happens, for example, going on a summer vacation. Next is the colour-letter synesthesia: Only vowels seem to have a "strong colour" for me: A - Orange/Pink E - Green I - Yellow O - Red U - Blue Almost all the consonants are darkish, with some exceptions. S and H are white or almost white. I am Spanish so 'n' is almost black but 'ñ' appears to be yellow on the tilde. Also W is darker blue, Y is yellow as I and J is reddish yellow. I recently learned Dutch and now 'IJ' (which is a vowel itself) has its own colour :-$ almost near to the J colour. There's nothing special to tell about the numbers, it's just one colour for every number of one digit (0 to 9) and then one continues to the bigger numbers with more colours. That's all folks Keep up the content, it is interesting.
Misinformation... Your red _will_ look like my red (more or less) unless you are colourblind or have tetrachromacy. But tetrachromacy is so _incredibly_ rare in humans, with only 1 verified case of true tetrachromacy after 20 years of research. We know what colours colourblind people can see. "Is your red the same as mine?" is more of a philosophical question in line with "do other people experience consciousness too?" The answer is a resounding yes, but there's no way for an observer to know for sure because you cannot be me and I cannot be you. So your red will be like my red, or very close, unless you have something going on with the cones in your eyes.
That's not correct. You're assuming that because the chemicals in the eyes are the same, that the experience in the brain is the same. That's not true. Color is not made in the eyes, it is made in the brain. Damaging the brain can lead to color blindness because of this fact.
@@ARTexplains Incorrect. Cerebral achromatopsia results in a diminished awareness of colors perceived by your eyes. It leads to the inability to identify colors, even though you can still visually perceive them (since they are seen via your eyes, not your brain). Distinguishing and comprehending these colors becomes challenging. Several studies have delved into this condition, and you can access more information by searching for 'Cerebral achromatopsia: color blindness despite wavelength processing' on Google

@@MrDarren690 haven't tried, Its illegal here
Can you still remember colors?
I'd like to know why it is that I see the world brighter in one eye than the other. It's been like that my entire life.
I have that too but I have slight heterochromia so idk
same, one of my eyes sees more greenish, and the other is more warm and natural
the idea of forgetting colors is so scary to me
My husband has been colorblind his whole life but has told me that he thinks it is getting worst as he ages. Cousin he just have had this condition and now getting worst
I can hear colors!
All of the time, or only some of the time?
I've heard of this!!! There are also people who can feel color. Then, some people can taste color. It is neurological.
And i can hear ur brain cells cringing.
And that means u would be constantly hearing a noise, and yeah, if thats the case go see a doctor. No no no i mean not cuz u can hear colors thats not possible, i meant go take a iq test cuz ur iq looks concerning.

Great video. Straight to the point.

I recomend not posting two videos so close. CZcams only notified me of one of these.

Interesting, sounds neurodegenerative. Are there other symptoms as well?
Oh look, a video all about my condition. Nice.
Which kind of achromatopsia do you have? Based in your eyes, or based in your brain?

I can't see colours, but I can feel them inside of me.
Sounds like synesthesia
ARTexplains Science and History I was just kidding but actually I have colour-number, colour-letter and date synesthesia :)
Sounds like you have some very interesting experiences, then :)
ARTexplains Science and History Yes, the date synesthesia helps a lot while thinking about the long term events.
In my case, I perceive the year as a giant circle, being my perspective in the current month.

Btw the Dollar and Euro signs are yellow, dots are black, '&' is yellow, @ is pink and I think this is enough :p
Looks Normal to me
Kind of
I'm here because of the movie Love Is ColorBlind.
I searched ino's disease from love is colorblind
I have Normal Vision (Trichromacy)
I would actually use a word like "typical" instead of "normal" to describe that -- normal is a bit of a loaded word, unfortunately.
Mhm. So?
9/10 people have that. Its not rare. Yeah, if i asked that…
Nvm im talking to someone that had never understood how normal humans talk.
2:38 Be careful with this frame. Vomit inducing 😅😅
Why do you people insist in saying "experience" instead of "seeing"? You don't "experience" color, you SEE colors.
Because sensation and perception are different.
