I made a short film on what it's like to be color blind and what you see, it's called "No Such Thing As Color"...just do a youtube search for it.

my eyes are all messed up.

i cant tell the difference between green and blue (you know, like the RGB cables, for an example, get me screwed up for my HDTV when plugging things in. its hard for me because that Green and Blue look the same to me).

another problem i have is light. my right eye doesn't allow (and i dont know why) a lot of light in, so its darker than the other. however... my left eye, which takes in more light, the vision is blurry.

talk about some messed up vision.

That's only because it's difficult to understand for "normal" people. It is difficult to explain to most people how a colour blind person sees.
