You won't have any trouble because of your color deficiency. There are plenty of color-deficient, or stereoblind, or monocular, or otherwise visually impaired people who become optometrists. As long as your acuity is correctable, your dexterity is fairly good, and you of course can meet the high intellectual demand of optometry school, you shouldn't see any difference from your classmates.
