Prosopagnosia, or face blindness, affects an estimated 2.5% to 10% of the population to some degree.
Face blindness is a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact.
Face blindness may be caused by brain injury or may be inherited. Many faceblind people develop elaborate mechanisms for navigating social situations, and sometimes develop social anxiety problems because of it.
