EnChroma does not endorse the use of the glasses to pass occupational screening tests such as the Ishihara test: these tests may be required in occupations where public safety is at risk such as public transport operators, electricians and first responders. Wearing of any filtering lens including colored contact lenses during test administration is prohibited and may invalidate the accuracy of the results.
What to get someone special? After 50 years of bland colours we gifted our nephew these glasses. Seeing the astonished look on his face when trying them on, was the gift that keeps giving! Great product, lovely designs, super fast delivery to Australia, and during COVID to boot!! Thank you for changing another life 😁
When I first received the glasses, it was 1 hour before sunset and somewhat cloudy ( Not clear and sunny which would have been better). I have grown accustomed to not seeing colors like everyone else. When I first tried the glasses, It made somewhat of a difference, but not overwhelming. Red cars got vibrant and I saw a difference between blue and purple color items. After about 1/2 hour I went inside and took glasses off. I had a very minor headache that went away by itself within 1/2 hour.
Next day I went outside in bright sunlight. The colors popped! Things looked strangely different. It was pleasant, but different from the muted colors I saw before getting the glasses. No headaches and I could tell the difference between a green and yellow traffic signal at a long distance. That is a big deal. I fly remote control airplanes that go as far as 400 yards away. Again I can see a big difference instead of just a silhouette. It is way easier to fly my airplanes with these glasses. I'm still getting used to seeing blue and purple as different colors. Now I am learning which is which. Browns and greens are distinctly different as well. Yellow and light orange colors are more different too.
I was very skeptical before purchasing these glasses as I am 73 years old, and I have figured out how to compensate without "New fangled" tools. "Change is inevitable. Embrace it or get run over by it" I've been told. It certainly is a great change in what I now see. Can't wait for them to create glasses to see more colors indoors and on computer screens, for my type of color blindness.
I'm looking forward to fishing with these glasses to see what if anything changes. It's fun to see colors like never before.
I bought these for my boyfriend who is strong protan. We were both nervous to see if they would work or not because of some of the reviews. But THEY WORKED! Before the glasses he could only see red but with the glasses, they enhanced it even more for him. He was amazed at all of the colors he was missing and loves the glasses! We only wish that there was indoor glasses for his type.
I love the glasses. I see so many more colors than before. I had to get out a color chart because there were colors I've never seen and didn't know what they were called. - Love em!!
