Daltonism is another term for colour blindness, named after John Dalton, a scientist. There are specific cells on the retina for forming real inverted images after refraction from the eye's lens. Cone-shaped cells respond to colours. Colour-blind people lack such cells which enable them to distinguish between colours, mostly red and green. Such people have normal vision. This is a congenital defect which is inherited.
