tritanopia
A rare type of dichromatism in which blue and yellow are confused. The tritanope only sees two colours: reds on the long-wave side, and greens or bluish greens on the other side of his neutral point, which is situated around 570 nm. Tritanopia occurs more often as an acquired type as a result of retinal disease or detachment, glaucoma, diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa, etc. Congenital tritanopia is very rare: it is estimated at about five males and three females in 100 000. Syn. blue blindness; blue-yellow blindness. See defective colour vision; dichromatism; pseudoisochromatic plates; Farnsworth test.
