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.

NOTICE: EnChroma glasses are an optical assistive device for enhancement of color discrimination in persons with color blindness; they are not a cure for color blindness. Results vary depending on the type and extent of color vision deficiency per individual. 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 love that more shades are visible now- lenses seem to have improved since the custom ones I ordered a few years back finally picked up an annoying scratch, prompting me to get these as a replacement. That said, though I love the shape and style, the frames are cheap feeling plastic and the price certainly doesn’t reflect it. I get it, you have to make money and there’s overhead and development costs- but… it still seems quite high- high enough to give me pause on replacing my original custom indoor ones, despite improvements. I’ll probably cave and do it, but I think lowering the price would bring more customers.
I do not consider myself red/green color blind, but am strong deutan on the color vision test. I can easily distinguish red from green in everyday life with or without the glasses. The colors are more vivid with the glasses on, and I can pass the test.
I've been using it regularly for the last couple of weeks. And damn! It's like I'm in a different world. Thank you so much! What a great product! Definitely something I will buy again in the future.
I bought them for my husband and he has said that they are so life changing that words can’t describe how it feels to be able to see what I see. The first time he put them one he went outside with no shoes on just to look at the Fall colors.
My daughter bought me a pair of these glasses and when I first put them on it was AMMAZING. I'm colored blind to red and green and when I put the glasses the red's were so different. I wear them all the time when driving and the color changes of the leaves are beautiful
