11th Hour: Learning About Color Blindness/Testing

(Continuing May 9) 
While waiting for other patients to arrive Dr. Penn gave me a booklet about colorblindness to read. It contained numerous tests that test the type of color deficiencies one might have. I studied it and even took the tests myself. Fortunately I do not have color deficiency in my eyes nor am I color blind. I learned that if the results of the color blindness test come out in a rare score then the doctor would have to use an anomaloscope. Which is a tool used to determine whether someone has color deficiency or color blindness.
