title: Color-vision deficiency--what does it mean?
abstract: Color-vision deficiency is a disorder affecting a significant proportion of the population, yet it remains poorly understood by school personnel as well as the general public. This article examines the many ways abnormal color perception affects peoples' lives. The role of the school nurse in detection of the problem, plus education and counseling of the affected student, parents, and teachers is discussed.
