1. Acupoints and acupressure

Acupressure is placed 2 cm below the center of the eyeball to improve eye function. When doing acupressure, press firmly with your index finger for 6 seconds while exhaling. You can do acupressure with your eyes open or closed.

When acupressure is performed with eyes open, the color can be clearly judged; when acupressure is performed with eyes closed, abnormal vision and pseudomyopia can be treated. If you suffer from strong color abnormalities, you should focus on pressing under your eyes. Continuing this acupressure will gradually eliminate color vision abnormalities.

2. Color blindness correction glasses

The principle of color blindness correction glasses is to apply a special coating on the lenses based on complementary color antagonism to produce a cut-off wavelength effect, which can transmit long wavelengths and reflect short wavelengths. Wearing color blind glasses can make it possible for people who were previously unable to recognize color pictures to be recognized correctly. Achieve the effect of correcting color vision impairment. Color blindness correction glasses are divided into contact lens type and ordinary wide frame type.

However, the person who gave the most detailed account of color blindness was the British chemist Dalton in 1798. Because color blindness was the first to be discussed in detail by Dalton, it was once called Dalton's disease in the West.

my country has a long history of records of similar color blindness. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Kangcangzi Quandao Pian" named this disease "blindness", saying: "Those with blindness mistake yellow for red and blue for blue."
