Enchroma Colour Vision Glasses

Buffy or anyone else know anything about these?

I’m struggling to think of any real advantage (other than the aesthetic improvement) unless they are classified as ‘corrective’.

Alex wears yellow tinted glasses, can’t remember why but I’m pretty sure it’s not because she’s a fashionista.

I have heard of people using yellow overlays for dyslexia. *Shrugs *

My colour vision is ‘Strong Protan’ according to their Colour Vision Test which means I will probably not get any benefit from the glasses.

Oh those glasses! I saw them on some news thing during the week.

(That’ll learn me for not reading the link first up)

I can’t find any published research where people are tested on the standard Ishihara tests while wearing these lenses. The link given by Rule says it does not cure. But a lot of the websites hyping them do. One even says that for children it will stop colour blindness progressing….it simply does not progress. You either lack the relevent cone pigment or you don’t. It’s entirely genetic. Cannot cure.

Let’s just say I’m skeptical. The military have been trying to do this stuff for a very long time for various reasons.

I hope it’s not for Irlen syndrome……

It was only last year that I suddenly realised that the famous “rose-tinted-glasses” are actually glasses designed to correct for red-green colour blindness, which I have. I only realised this after optometrists stopped selling them.
