The Interview Colorblindness By: Tommy Pope

Tom: hi Tim so how are you doing?

Tim: I am doing very well thanks for asking.

Tom: so what is it like being Color Blind?

Tim: Well, it is very different. I have Red and Green Color blindness.

Tom: Oh, ok so you can see other colors right.

Tim: Yes, it just looks different than Red and Green colors. Tom: so when did you realize that you were colorblind? Tim: well the symptoms that I noticed was that I had trouble seeing colors and the different shades of them. However, I did learn that if cases are not very serious you may not even know that you are colorblind. However, on severe cases they might have rapid side-to-side movements in their eyes. Tom: Wow! I did not know that Tim: Yes, it is also on the recessive x chromosome. So that means some people could be a carrier but not be colorblind. Tom: so is there any treatment for being colorblind? Tim: well, not really but you can get special contacts or glasses to see similar looking colors. Tom: do you have those? Tim: Yes, I do they help a lot! Tom: so before we go is there anything else that you want to say? Tim: Yes, Colorblindness is a lifelong condition but people can adjust to it without difficulty. Last if you are colorblind you can be put down for a job, like you can’t be a cook because you will not be able to see if meat is well done or and thing like that. Tom: ok thanks for letting me have this interview I learned a lot. Tim: anytime.
