How To Cure Colour Blindness And Nystagmus?

i am a girl of 17. By birth i am suffering from complete color blindness.I also have nystagmus. I feel very difficult to see in sunlight. I cannot open my eyes well in places with more light. In bright light i have to make my eyes very small so that i can see a little. I feel something is obstructing my sight in the middle part. I even cannot see on the board which has effected my study a lot. I have lost many oppourtunities because of this problem. Doctor said it is just nystagmus here in Nepal but i feel it is cone dystrophy. Can you say me what it is? if it is cone dystrophy then is the treatment possible? I really hope there is something which can make me a normal girl. I want to live a normal life.. please help me

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Color blindness is a congenital problem and there is no treatment for color blindness.
Nystagmus cannot be cured completely but it can be reduced by nystagmus correction surgery.
Hence you can go for nystagmus surgery and along with this use of visual aids will help you in improving your vision.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
