Color vision deficiencies affect about 8% of men, and 0.5% of women. The most common forms of color blindness (commonly lumped together as "red-green color blindness") affect more men than women, because they are due to a mutation in a gene in the X chromosome, which men usually have only one copy of. + +Contrast sensitivity loss can be caused by cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other disorders of the retina; it can be age-related, congenital, or due to an injury. + +.. note:: + + This feature depends on webrender, an experimental featurethat is not enabled by default on all platforms.
