Like most eyewear frames, EnChroma frames may contain stainless steel hardware components such as wire, hinges and screws. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium and nickel. Metallic nickel has been classified as a possible carcinogen and is on the Prop 65 warning list.
What testing does EnChroma perform on its frames?EnChroma uses an independent third party laboratory to test its frames and lenses for compliance with international standards including EN 16128:2015. EnChroma frames are compliant with the requirement for upper limit of nickel migration as specified in paragraph 1(b) and (c) of entry 27 of Annex XVII to the REACH. REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals. However, the REACH is not recognized by the State of California.

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.
I had previously owned an Enchroma pair of glasses that were about 4 years old. These new ones create even more vivid colors and the fit is awesome! I plan to use these every day, as well as for mountain biking. Great customer service, as well!
At first I did not like them, very thing was still black and white but I do live in Minnesota and it’s winter. Next day I used them driving and the reds and greens were much brighter. The more I wore them the better things got. So far I love them. Can not wait for spring when the trees leaf out.
I love these glasses - best yet. I use them for hiking, skiing, et al; they are so very clear and lovely. Very light weight and comfortable. Eyes are not tired at the end of a long day. Colors are bright and full. Nice job.
I don’t really know how to compare the new color to the old color. I never had a basis for what green really looked like. The first thing I noticed was that the exit signs on the interstate in Georgia aren’t gray. They are really green and I knew it instantly. The sky on cloudy days isn’t just gray. It’s blue and gray. These glasses just make the world a more beautiful place. Everything is more vivid and bold. If you are on the fence, go to a store and try them on. If you could see a more beautiful world, what price is too big? It’s worth it.
