Is color blindness like an infectious disease like the common cold or influenza?
Color blindness is caused by a genetic defect, not by an
infection by a pathogen. There are several diseases that affects
the eye that are caused by a pathogen, but none of these are color
blindness, rather a simple infection.
no in fact it is very rare.
Colour blindness is a self-contained problem of the person who
has the colour blindnesss. It is usually a genetic problem or just
something that went haywire during fetal development. Most people
who are colour blind don't know they have colour blindness until an
adult in their life figures it out.
It is more a illness with children, it is genetic disorder.

No it isn't as color blindness is from genetic traits.
Therefore, color blindness is 99% not infectious
