I bought these glasses for my husband. They were a gift I had been wanting to give him ever since I first heard of Enchroma glasses, and it was his birthday, so what better gift?
When he first put them on, I didn’t tell him what they were. I took him downtown to our town square where we have several very beautiful and colorful murals painted on the buildings. He was facing away from them, looking at me, and he did just that-looked at me. I told him to turn around and look at the mural. When he did, immediately he began to tell me what the colors were. He turned to another mural and told me the trunk on the tree was blue! I had to take a good look myself, then realized he was right-the trunk was painted a vivid blue!
But the neatest moment was when he turned again, looking around, and spotted a stop sign. “Wow, that’s a Really Red Red!” It was the very first time my truck driver husband had ever seen the true color of a simple stop sign.
I thank you, and my husband thanks you for the wonderful gift of a world full of beautiful color.

To anyone considering buying these as a gift, make sure the recipient takes Enchroma's colorblind test, and keep in mind the glasses might not work. Bought these for my colorblind boyfriend with that mindset. He was skeptical at first as to whether they would work - only to go around gushing about how much he loved them for the following weekend to all his friends and relatives! The look on his face when he was able to differentiate certain colors for the first time was priceless. If EnChroma ends up making indoor glasses for my boyfriend's specific type of colorblindness, I will most certainly purchase them.

What to get someone special? After 50 years of bland colours we gifted our nephew these glasses. Seeing the astonished look on his face when trying them on, was the gift that keeps giving! Great product, lovely designs, super fast delivery to Australia, and during COVID to boot!! Thank you for changing another life 😁

When I first received the glasses, it was 1 hour before sunset and somewhat cloudy ( Not clear and sunny which would have been better). I have grown accustomed to not seeing colors like everyone else. When I first tried the glasses, It made somewhat of a difference, but not overwhelming. Red cars got vibrant and I saw a difference between blue and purple color items. After about 1/2 hour I went inside and took glasses off. I had a very minor headache that went away by itself within 1/2 hour.
Next day I went outside in bright sunlight. The colors popped! Things looked strangely different. It was pleasant, but different from the muted colors I saw before getting the glasses. No headaches and I could tell the difference between a green and yellow traffic signal at a long distance. That is a big deal. I fly remote control airplanes that go as far as 400 yards away. Again I can see a big difference instead of just a silhouette. It is way easier to fly my airplanes with these glasses. I'm still getting used to seeing blue and purple as different colors. Now I am learning which is which. Browns and greens are distinctly different as well. Yellow and light orange colors are more different too.
I was very skeptical before purchasing these glasses as I am 73 years old, and I have figured out how to compensate without "New fangled" tools. "Change is inevitable. Embrace it or get run over by it" I've been told. It certainly is a great change in what I now see. Can't wait for them to create glasses to see more colors indoors and on computer screens, for my type of color blindness.
I'm looking forward to fishing with these glasses to see what if anything changes. It's fun to see colors like never before.

I bought these for my boyfriend who is strong protan. We were both nervous to see if they would work or not because of some of the reviews. But THEY WORKED! Before the glasses he could only see red but with the glasses, they enhanced it even more for him. He was amazed at all of the colors he was missing and loves the glasses! We only wish that there was indoor glasses for his type.
