People whose names are green I can't see. I have to squint and tilt and really struggle to see. It is not my computers. Anyone else have this problem? it's the every other line, when the green falls into a shaded line.

Has it always been that way, or did it just become hard to see green? If it has just changed, you might want to start with an eye exam, or see your doctor. Anything we can do to help?

I have had friends that could not see green. They have told me they are color blind! I always thought color blind meant that a person could not see colors, but that is not true! Hope you find out whats up!

I can't see green yes, you correct, that not what colour-blind means Curley,

red/green colourblindness is the most common, usually in males. It is a problem where you can't distinguish btn two colours, not ALWAYS the same two, but red/green is the most common. They still see in colour, not in black & white.

I have just noticed it lately and you all are right, time for an eye exam. Rap, the dark lines in the list are most difficult. That however is probably a permanent feature. Thanks

Do you have diabetes? The other pages of that sight were very informative as to what could cause various color sight problems.

ok, so we're colour blind as well I can't see green I can't see green I can't see green

we know we passed this test when we were admitted to the medical degree I can't see green but now we missed HALF of all the test results.
We do not have diabetes. Could this be caused by head injuries ?

Maybe it's your computer. I have a lap top but also a flat screen down stairs. I was going to try the flat screen because it makes things more clear. Maybe not today but I will let you know.

I was thinking that too, the angle of the screen makes a difference and how we're sitting, etc. (I'm in an easy chair). My loptop is hardly ergonomic or helpful to either posture or eyesight :-)

did you know that when you look at LED christmas lights at night and i mean the really good LED lights, that blue is the hardest color to see? it gets kinda blurry when you are far away compared to the other colors which are more distinct and defined. maybe its different based on the person but its kind of interesting cuz my mom and a friend of mine noticed the same thing when we went to look at (LED) christmas lights this year.
