Protanopia

A type of anomalous dichromatism color deficiency in which the spectrum is seen in tones of yellow and blue with confusion of red and green and reduced sensitivity to monochromatic lights from the red end of the spectrum, due to a lack of (or lack of function of) “L-cone” photoreceptors sensitive to long (reddish) wavelengths of light.
