so if your dad is colourblind you will be a carrier, and any sons you have have a 50:50 chance of being colourblind. if your dad is not you could have 'silently' carried the gene down the maternal side of your family, with all the women having a good gene to hide the colourblindness. any grandads colourblind?
I would ring your hv or gp and speak to them about it.

He swears the grass is pink but he is a bit of practical joker, so who knows what he actually sees!
I'm not colourblind and neither is my OH and hoping our son doesn't inherit it, only 14mths so not too many indications yet!
I have to add if he is colourblind, it's not the worst affliction in the world and will hardly prevent him from doing anything these days!
