My aim in this petitions is to try and fight to get glasses for the colour-blind available on the NHS. Why?
•Children experiencing difficulty at school if colours are used to help with learning
•Problems with food, such as identifying whether meat is fully cooked or whether fruit is ripe
•Getting medications confused
•Trouble identifying safety warnings or signs
•Slightly limited career choices – certain jobs, such as pilots, train drivers and electricians
