If a patient reports difficulty distinguishing between shades of blue and green after prolonged exposure to a specific industrial solvent, which consequence affecting retinal function is most likely?

💡 Explanation

Selective color blindness involving blue and green suggests damage to specific cone photoreceptors responsible for those wavelengths, because the solvent affects specific retinal cells. Therefore, selective cone photoreceptor damage is the outcome, rather than generalized rod dysfunction or changes in signal transmission, which would affect overall vision.
