These are your cone scores with EnChroma technology. Did you see a change?
FAQs
Is it OK to take the new EnChroma Color Blind Test while wearing EnChroma glasses? What can I expect to see?
Most color blind people who take the new color blind test while wearing EnChroma glasses see improvements to their defective cone scores.
The Ishihara test, the old EnChroma test, and other online color vision tests were developed only as broad color vision screening assessments and did not use cone-specific colors. Therefore, they cannot show improvement to the individual cones. Only the new EnChroma Color Blind Test can show this improvement.
Is it okay for my non-defective cone score to go down while wearing EnChroma glasses?
Sometimes, in addition to seeing increased scores for their defective cone, people see a slight decrease to their non-defective cone scores while wearing the glasses. This is normal and does not indicate that you have the wrong lens for your colorblindness. You won’t notice this effect when wearing the glasses out in the real world.
Why am I still scoring zero on one of my cones when I wear EnChroma glasses while taking the test?
If you score 0% on one of your cones both with and without the glasses, the chances are very high that you are a dichromat. This is a less common form of colorblindness, where one cone type is completely missing. Dichromats generally do not see color enhancement when wearing EnChroma glasses.
What if I take the new EnChroma Color Blind test while wearing non-EnChroma tinted lenses?
Other products on the market might help on the test, but none use EnChroma’s patented lens technology, instead manipulating relative lightness of colors. EnChroma lenses increase the color contrast in the image, improving your ability to see the cone-isolated hidden symbol. These other lenses may or may not help your test scores but they won’t really help you see true colors.
