Blue Cone Monochromatism

Also known as: BCM, S-cone Monochromacy

A rare inherited vision condition in which only the blue (short-wavelength) cones function, resulting in severely reduced color vision, reduced visual acuity, photophobia, and nystagmus. Affected individuals see the world in shades of blue and yellow and typically benefit from color filters, reduced screen brightness, tinted lenses, and high-contrast digital interfaces.
