My six year old daughter told me that today every appears to be black and white (she said, Everything looks like the beginning of The Wizard of Oz ). I pointed out specific signs (one red with white writing for instance) and she said everything was grey and white, with the trees and grass being nearly black. When she was within a couple feet of something she could tell me the color correctly, but as she moved further away from it, it would appear grey to her again. I am waiting to hear back from her optometrist, but we live in a small town with limited medical expertise so I wanted to explore other options as well.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. If she is able to see the color of near objects, she is not color-blind. She is not able to see from a distance, that means she may be having short sight (Myopia). Better consult eye specialist.
