How many babies are born per year with color blindness?

Color blindness, also called color vision deficiency, is a common condition that affects how people see colors. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women (0.5%) worldwide have some form of color blindness. This means that there are potentially over 300 million color blind individuals worldwide.

The prevalence of color blindness varies slightly from country to country, with certain regions having higher or lower rates. For example, in some African countries, the prevalence of color blindness among men can reach up to 15%. In the United States, it is estimated that about 13 million men and 1 million women have some form of color blindness.
