Introducing Durant, our newest wrap frame style with an outdoor lens designed for children aged 5 to 10 and teens needing a smaller fit. Developed to improve color vision, these frames are available in 100% UV absorbing outdoor lenses that wrap the face for optimal protection against the sun’s harmful rays. Lightweight and durable frames constructed with TR-90, a nylon-based material, are designed to retain its shape and stay on the face for a comfortable fit.
Note: The Durant is a wrap style frame for kids ages 5-10 that provides 100% UV and sun protection but is not designed or certified to meet sport protective eyewear standards.
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. Read More
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.
My son’s color blindness is considered severe, according to this website, so I was skeptical as to how well these glasses would work. Turns out, they totally do and he absolutely loves them! He kept them on for about 4 hours the first day and wears them whenever he goes outside. Now we just need a pair for inside!
I keep the Durant (Outdoor, Age 5-10) in my car for my 7 year old grandson. The first time he wore them was last week, with a very bright sun low on the horizon. He would have been blinded without them, so that was serendipity. The first thing he said when he put them on was, "I didn't realize the trees were so green". This was in November, so he saw the pine trees for the first time. Also, he had previously been confused when he looked at stop lights: "Baba, how do you know when to stop when the lights are all the same color?" This time he could clearly see the difference between green and red. So glad we have these. He also has the indoor version for school. He doesn't wear them all the time, just as many people don't wear focus correction glasses all the time, but they're great to have around.
Amazing results immediately for my 8year old son, so so happy to give him the experience of the beautiful colours that surround us.
These glasses have opened up a whole different world to my son. Every morning, when he wakes up, he puts them on a runs outside to ride his bike. He comes in, telling us all about the red squirrels and the trees that he’s seen. He talks about the cars that he’s seen passing by on the road. He’s amazed. We are all amazed. I’m so grateful that there is technology like this now. My brother is also color blind. Growing up, there was nothing like this available for him. I hope he’ll purchase a pair, also. Thank you so much!
