About this video: Are you colorblind or do you have a color vision deficiency? In this video, Joseph J. Allen, OD, FAAO will explain the ishihara test to help you answer the question “ am i colorblind “. Not every color test out on the internet is the same but the most common is the ishihara test. This color blindness test will help identify inherited red-green color blindness as well as give clues toward the presence of deuteranopia (green colorblindness) and protanopia (red color blindness). If you have had trouble seeing colors or wanted to take a colour blind test, this color vision test video is for you.

Me, a severely colour blind person watching the numbers through the glasses was the coolest thing ever

[NickWellingFitness]

Sometimes I doubt my own colorblindness until I take one of these tests and fail almost every card

[benjiwright]

Fun fact... I once washed a pair of jeans with a new red t shirt and had no idea I was wearing pink jeans until my boss asked if I was supporting breast cancer awareness month.

[raihansoekowati]

Those glasses are magical! First time seeing the numbers through the lens from your video!!

[lynztc]

Me: knows for a fact that I'm not colorblind
Also me: lEtS sEe iF iM cOlOrBlInD

[Randy_Butternubs]

He's a handsome guy! Especially those brown eyes he has!

[anastrixnoodles]

I love how you match your shirt&tie with your eyes.

Super interesting! My cousin is color blind, so I learned a long time ago that my color vision is normal. But it was very interesting to see what the EnChroma type glasses did to the images. Very cool demonstration!

[yolofroyo]

I did not know I was colorblind until I failed most of the cards held up!! Thank you so much this was a huge eye opener.

[Cypum]

The glasses works for me. I can see the numbers. I'm having a goosebumps.

[Cappy.B]

I’m colorblind and I can see the numbers when you put those glasses on! That’s crazy cool!!

[sameris]

Hi! Actual colorblind here with consistent Protanomaly also known as Red Deficiency from the enchroma and other colorblind tests. I just want to make a small correction on timestamp 4:50 through 5:30.
Being red deficient does not mean I cannot see red characters/traces, in fact; I am only able to see the numbers 3 and 9, and the trace on top. Being red deficient means that objects/traces that are truly red appear dark to me, hence I am able to see the numbers 3 and 9 and the upper trace because they have a very high contrast versus the background. Having said that, since I am hypersensitive to greens, everything else near the green spectrum are jumbled hence I cannot make out the numbers that are green and the trace... So the reverse is actually true than what is said in the video..

[frankiegunnz]

I always knew I was color blind, but never knew more. You have open my world of colors and knowledge. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart.

[manjuomjugtawat]

At first I thought that I am colour blind but then I realized that my video quality was on 144.🤣🤣

[hilmirorn]

When you showed the glasses in the camera, I was literally SHOCKED! IT WAS SOOO COOL

[electronicsNmore]

You did a fantastic job making that video.

[littleman]

What regular people see: Bluetooth
What colorblind people see: Tooth

[kingemboss]

I think even someone color blind can see how blue your eyes are

[dradrianmurillo]

Is there some glasses that’s for people who can’t see colors?

[ronnirambo]

You got pretty green eyes, and what a smooth red shirt.. nice combo
