Faded Colors

Dreamstime

An individual who is affected by certain eye conditions may experience the manifestation of faded colors in their vision. Faded color in the visual field refers to when an individual has a decreased ability to distinguish one color from another. Faded colors are often a sign of cataracts, which is the development of a cloudy film in the lens of the eye. Cataracts develop when an injury or the natural process of aging causes alterations in the tissue that makes up the lens of an individual's eye. Faded colors in the vision should not be ignored when caused by cataracts because of the danger declining vision poses when an individual is driving a vehicle, operating machinery, and performing other tasks. Other serious but rare causes of faded colors in an individual's vision that may not be isolated to the eye include sickle cell anemia, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, leukemia, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and glaucoma.
