Eye Health QOTD: Are you Color Blind and have you tried enchroma color blind glasses? What do you think?

[Blue_Azure]

Had a friend who discovered he was color blind after a scene in a movie where there were blood on the toilet. He thought it was poop. Then that’s when we realized he had trouble with color red.

[MajorBilly]

Fun fact - I always wondered what they were seeing that triggered such emotion, but assumed I could never know. Then I got cataract surgery. Wow. A month later and it still amazes me how colors pop out.

[rootonesquare]

You could say that this video of yours was sponsored by enchroma. It is becoming common knowledge that these colour-blind glasses are more or less a scam.

[janedavis]

My thoughts as an optician of over 2 decades. First, they are not safety lenses. Safety rating depends on several factors. Second, I'm really disappointed that you would present a paid promotion as an honest product review, especially for a company that has marketing practices that are questionable at best. I've always thought of your channel as a reliable source of information and if I'm being honest these kinds of shenanigans undermine your brand.

[Chickendinguss]

According to every color blind test I've taken I have strong protanopia, but still see everything as pink. They definitely help me see reds and oranges, and it was really cool to see red for what it is, but the sky being pink is very weird lol

[The-LSTV]

They are a total scam. Thank you for supporting people who scam others with a disability.

[MakeAMadMan]

I have red and green colour blindness and seeing through those glasses made a difference 😱

[jdove]

I’m red/green deficient and received the Enchroma glasses as a gift. I was totally blown away. I used them in Bar Harbor Maine to view my “first” sunrise. There were ranges of emotions including sadness realizing all I have missed over the years. I wish they had bifocal readers so I could wear them more. I do take them on all outdoor trips. I do find I can’t wear them while driving as I get distracted by the colors passing by catching my eye

[KeithRickards]

Thanks for the video and your review. Much appreciated.
I have Strong Protan Colourblindness. I have considered these as I used to have filtered glasses about 25 years ago with little to no result so interested in seeing how the technology has come on.
However the reason I won’t buy these are the following.
1. Within Red - Green colourblindness there are varies types and degrees of colour deficiency so the chances of working well for mine is unknown. (Great there are 60 days return option)
2. I live in the UK. I don’t need sunglasses. We don’t get Sun. Standard glasses without prescription would be the option I would like but then there is the issue of the filter.
3. The ads irritate the hell out of me. People don’t suddenly see colour. This reaction of ‘I can see!’ Is bothersome. We can see colour it’s just washed out and difficult to distinguish. It feels like ads made by people without colour deficiency dramatised for other people without colour blindness. I know there’s a difference between the two wordings and funny that it’s the inaccurate one that is used as the norm. 🤣

I've known I'm color blind most of my life. Took many tests showing this, including the one on the Enchroma website to determine type, what you need, etc. I was willing the pay the $ for the Enchroma glasses. Shipping was really fast and I was really excited that I'd be able to see a real difference in colors. HIGHLY disappointed. No appreciable difference in reds/greens except that it looks like I'm seeing them through dark glasses. Blues and purples were completely washed out - very, very pale compared to when I don't even have these Enchroma glasses on. I'm returning these. Maybe they work for some people, but they certainly didn't work at all for me - I see colors better with them off!

[InformalGreeting]

I am colorblind. I bought the glasses. They gave me a headache and did nothing to help with my vision.

[zoltoncxz]

Being colour blind has never bothered me (I'm STRONG Deutan) however I really like going outside, fishing, exploring etc. I have looked into these glasses a bit however nothings been very informative on how they actually work, this has convinced me to TRY them I feel. Thank you!

[melissarounds]

I am protan, red green colorblind and I am an artist. I have been tempted for years to get the indoor set so I can use color in my art. My work is monochromatic because of my eyes but I long for so much more. I was gifted an outdoor set a few years ago. They make the world look very vibrant, like a pixar movie. But I am not completely convinced they "correct" my sight or if they just enhance it. It gives things red hues that I don't think should have them (such as the sky during the day) or things that I know are white are pink with my glasses on (like snow). And, to my disappoint, I still cannot pass the colorblind test with them on. I am curious if anyone has tried the indoor set compared to the outdoor version they offer.

[goodtogrow]

I have an uncle that is color blind and he an artist. He was artist of the year in college. He had to read and learn what to mix. I really want him to be able to see so he can paint without us spending an hour trying to figure out what to mix to make blue not look brown.

[Joseppisnake]

Doctor please make a video covering visual snow !, I've watched your migrane Aura video and was impressed with it, Also the general public needs to know about it more

[MCPeeBoy]

I am doing some research about these glasses. I looked up some articles as well as watched a lot of videos. After hunting for some DOIs and then jumping to sci-hub, it seems that researchers are fairly sceptical about these glasses. However, when I see people trying a pair of these I am really on a fence. I am getting fairly interested in fluorescent microscopy as well as just plain ol' painting with brush and oil paints, so being able to see colours would be heavenly.

[quintunesp]

Thank you for thia video, I imagined if anyone had the idea of filming throught this glasses, so the non colorblinded people could understamd a little of what those lenses do, it was amazing to see how it kind of inceeased the contrast of colors

[CyberwizardProductions]

They have lenses for all the types of colorblind disorders except mono - where you have no cones in your retina at all - and enchroma has a test. you want to take that first, it'll take you to the page with the correct filtering lens you need.

[tomwiles]

I have a red-green color deficiency. If I'm close enough, I can see the difference between red and green. If there is a red roof in the distance, I can make myself believe it is either red or green. If I look at the same roof through binoculars from the same location, I can easily tell it is red. If I go through the typical dot pattern color tests, the red-green deficiency is revealed. Additionally, I've always found it impossible to put a name to many pastel colors. The enchroma glasses might be worth it for me to check out.
