    Problems with seeing the color red.
    I've always had good vision. So far I'm the only member of my /immediate/ family that does not wear glasses. But over the past two years (or so) I have had problems reading words that are in read. Mostly on white boards with red markers. I have no problem if I'm close to the board. But if I'm not, it's really hard to read. It gets blurry. A friend of mine, the same age has the same problem too.

    Does this mean I'm color blind? I don't think it does, but I could be wrong...

    You need to see an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. This actually is a form of color blindness.

    Is there a name to it? I would like to research it a bit.

    And thank you!

    As I said it's a form of colorblidness. I'm not a doctor, so I can't diagnose you. But I can provide you with a link to Wikipedia to read up on it more.

    Color blindness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Just Google "color blind".

Professional hair color problems [ 1 Answers ]

I recently had my hair colored at a salon, but the stylist made it a little too dark. I like the general color, but would like it to be a shade or two lighter. Would using Prell shampoo or other treatments like that work to help fade salon-quality color? If not, what else would you recommend?
