Answer 3

Depends. In most cases of colour blindness, it's congenital- you're born with it. In some cases, it's related to trauma, which is called aquired colour blindness. In one unique case called 'cone dystrophy' you actually develop it without any trauma.

Answer 4

Most people are born with it, some is an incidence of a symptom of other illness. Most is genetic though. Mostly males!

Answer 5

ACQUIRED color blindness can occur at any time in life but is related to DISEASE.  INHERITED genetic color blindness (which is what most people are talking about when they speak of color blindness) is not related to disease and is always present at birth.
