Short Answer

There are different types of color blindness related to the malfunction of different types of cones. Why would it be particularly useful to study those rare individuals who are color blind only in one eye or who have a different type of color blindness in each eye?

Studying the same person with different color vision in the different eyes will give us more opportunities to understand the working of the eye

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of color blindness.

Color blindness occurs when you are unable to see colors in a normal way. It is also known as color deficiency. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot distinguish between certain colors. This usually happens between greens and reds, and occasionally blues.

Step 2: Studying the same person with different color vision in different eye

If we study the person having color blindness in one eye or having a different type of color blindness in two different eyes, then we can compare the function of the eye in a much better way.

Since the perception of color is subjective and different people may view color differently, comparing the color vision of two-person may not give us desired result. But studying the same person with different color vision in the different eyes will give us more opportunities to understand the working of an eye.
