Deuteranomaly

Also known as: Deutan Anomalous Trichromacy

The most common type of colour vision deficiency, where the medium-wavelength (green) cone cells have a shifted sensitivity range. Deuteranomaly is a milder form of deutan CVD compared to deuteranopia, resulting in reduced ability to distinguish certain reds from greens. It accounts for approximately 5% of males and is the single most prevalent form of CVD worldwide.
