While they do not help at me all distinguish colors in board games and card games, which I originally bought my pair of Enchroma Bancroft indoor glasses for, they have turned out a great help when shopping for fresh fruit. Where I formerly had to take e.g. strawberries, pears or tomatoes into the best-lit spot I could find, and squint really hard, I can now simply put on my Enchroma glasses and immediately see whether or not they are fully ripe and red. Also, brown spots and blemishes stand out very clearly, where without the glasses I needd to actively and meticulously look at each fraction of a square inch of each individual fruit, or risk missing bad spots and buying fruit that will spoil sooner.

If you're considering investing in a pair of these glasses, but doubt the reviews, I was skeptical too. My husband has been a tattoer for 20 years, but could only see a watered-down, muddy color spectrum. He's always been a bit saddened by this, being a passionate artist with a deep love for color. I bought him a pair of Enchroma glasses and surprised him with the gift as we boarded a hot air balloon ride for his 44th birthday celebration. He was profoundly affected. As the sun came up, he finally saw the earth in full-color. He kept going on about how bright everything was and how many shades of green there were. For people who see full color, we all take for granted the way things looks on the day-to-day. But, to watch him see that world for the first time in his life, it was very emotional. I am ever grateful ❤️As is he.

My stepmom and I bought these as a present for my dad and they have worked wonders for him! When he first tried them on they didn’t really seem to work but after having them on just a few hours they started working. I highly recommend!

I bought a pair of refurbished Bancroft Indoor glasses. Been using them during daylight hours for a couple of weeks now.

Even as indoor glasses these will need daylight levels of light in order to see their effect. I have a mild protanomaly, and these glasses only make a minor difference. Reds are way brighter, surprisingly blues are bolder (probably owing to the blip in red cone light reception at the blue end of the spectrum), purples are something I don’t believe I’ve seen before. However I have to search to see these differences, they’re not popping out at me like I thought they would. I think this is down to how I’ve learned to see the world - I don’t pay attention to colour on a regular basis and this is a difficult thing to learn to do after 35 years! I was hoping that I’d be able to appreciate autumn colours more but I’m still not sure if I can see any reds in the leaves. The difference between yellows and greens is more apparent though.

This is a pair of magical glasses. After wearing it, it is incredible that red and green are easier to distinguish.
