“…The visual dimension relates to visual acuity (i.e., sharpness of vision) and color vision. For example, a person with color vision deficiencies may not be able to distinguish information presented in certain color combinations common in poster presentations and conference talks and thus experiences a limitation along the visual dimension of ability [25]. Similarly, a person with hyperopia, myopia, low vision, or total blindness would have a limitation along this dimension.…”

Every person has abilities across a multidimensional spectrum; abilities can vary within a person across these dimensions as well as between people along the same dimensions. This paper introduces a preliminary framework for conceptualizing dimensions of ability which we call ability profiles. Our purpose in developing this framework is not to categorize other people, but rather to support research into existing structures that privilege those with strengths in particular dimensions or create a barrier for those with limitations in certain dimensions. Such an analysis is useful for developing inclusive and accessible curricular materials and practices. Through literature reviews, we have developed a framework that describes largegrain dimensions of ability: physical, visual, hearing, cognitive, health, and emotional-behavioral. This paper will introduce ability profiles and the dimensions of ability, describe the relationship between the framework and specific diagnoses, and demonstrate utility of the framework for the physics classroom.

“…Among these photoreceptors cones are missing or not working correctly in CVD's patients [2]. Besides this genetic disorder other reasons for color vision deficiency includes Parkinson's disease and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy [3]. There is no complete cure for gene therapy but still some strategies and treatments are under trials.…”

Basic purpose of this survey studies was to check awareness level about color blindness among university students. Color blindness is color vision deficiency (CVD), which occurs due to genetic disorder in specialized cell of eye. Patients suffering with color blindness are unable to differentiate between certain colors like red, green and blue. Red-green deficiency is common among all patients. A questionnaire was prepared to estimate awareness of university students about color blindness. It is concluded from this survey studies that mostly students are unaware about etiology and recent treatments of color blindness.
