        “Please be patient with me, I’m disabled” as I struggle with concepts not at all related to color is one of my favourite lines to throw out.

      Rod monochromacy (achromatopsia)

      Achromatopsia is when you don’t have any cones. This is true color blindness. You won’t see any colors, and will probably have reduced or low vision and other complications.

          Yes it is. No cones = no color.

          Achromatopsia is not the same as deuteranomaly, where you have less functional cones and see some, albeit muted colors
