Yes, I’m red/green colorblind and I haven’t tried them. I’m a female and sewing is a hobby I enjoy. I’ve often wondered how those glasses would help me. Maybe one day, God willing, I’ll get to see what everyone else is seeing.
I’m colorblind. Just got truly diagnosed 2 days ago. I have Mild Deuteranomalia. I was talking to my optometrist and he owns his own glasses store. I mentioned them to him and he is now interested in stocking them. Never really trusted the online tests.
RussianSpy101 I’m 72 Yrs old and I was truly diagnosed at 20 years of age when I was trying to qualify for a job with General Electric. I had noticed while traveling, my Mom would comment on the pretty red peppers in the fields and also the trees full of red apples. I would turn all the way around in the back seat looking for what she saw and was puzzled as to why I couldn’t see it. She actually carried the same gene as my Dad’s red/green color blindness. That’s all I ever was told the name of the problem was back then. I may never get to try on a pair of the glasses but it sure does sound like a treat! I had heard that not all people with color blindness would be helped with the glasses so I assumed I was one of the unfortunate ones and never got my hopes up. But since watching this video I’m excited about the prospects of seeing what most other people see. However, as you know we see colors, but some are camouflaged and we have problems with the different shades of some colors. It makes me unsure of what I think I see sometimes, especially when buying clothes or trying to match fabrics with thread etc. Regardless of if I do get to try the glasses on or not, I’m grateful I can see and also that I can see most of the beautiful colors in our world that God blessed us with. I hope you can get the glasses and have fun with all you see.🌻
Thank you very much for the video. I placed a comment a few weeks back on wanting to see something about this. Yes, I am color blind. Thanks for the info. Just in time for Christmas.
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.
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.
The feeling is the same when I got my first eye glasses i didn't know the world is this much wonderful that i can see from a far and i can see colors more vibrant and a perfect HD scenery's.
@ as red-green colorblind dude and enchroma user I can say that this is entirely false. I know every color while wearing these and discover ones I haven’t been able to see before. Absolutely life changing. Stop contributing to the age of misinformation.
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. Normally, the lens of your eye is clear. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, which eventually affects your vision.
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.
@@jznga There are several youtube essays on how the "science" behind it is all hocus pocus. All the reaction videos were paid promotions. And even this video you commented on it is a paid review. I'd start with the Megalag videos first.
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.
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
@@pogmonke5217 That is not physically possible - color blindness is not curable without surgery, and a pair of color filters can not make you start magically see or distinguish colors that your eyes are not capable of processing. It (may) only, in some cases, help see a difference between 2 colors that you couldnt before, but at the cost of a lot of other colors blending even worse. They do *not cure* color blindness and do not make you see new colors. In no way they make you see the original colors, not even close, and them trying to make it sound like that is a total scam to me and is just a plain and shameless rip-off of color blind people, and should not be taken seriously. In the very least, if not a scam, they are a blatant false advertising. All of the "reaction videos" have been proven to be 100% fake. I'm not kidding, look it up. Some of them have blatant proof of being faked (Especially the ones with the kid and balloons - the kid is literally reading the wrong colors that are written on the balloon, among other signs of it being fake. May influencers sponsored by Enchroma that faked their reaction (like Logan) have later admitted to it being faked and stated that there is actually no difference.) In most cases, those glasses make your color vision a lot worse, as it's just a pink filter, making colors look way too red, and with that a lot of colors blend even for not color blind people. It's just physically not possible for a plastic filter to make you see colors, when your brain/eye can not process them itself. That simply does not work. Note that this video is sponsored by Enchroma.
The only scammy part is the price. They changed the way I see color - so they work, I guess - but the price is outrageous. They should be around $100, $150 at most. Isn’t 5x profit margin enough, Enchroma?
@@pogmonke5217 They are scam company using various marketing and sale tactics, deleting negative reviews, lying about science, lying about FDA and ignoring customer emails who want their money back. You are liar too.
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
Yeah I was thinking about getting some and trying to drive but I wouldn't be able to focus. Sunrises/sunsets are something I wanna be able to see so bad. All I see is like an orangey yellow and then grey. Apparently theres pink in their somewhere
@@EdwinLaarzYou really shouldn't I just watched a video before this one the glasses are all just a big scam the reason is you'd have to litteraly give yourself the "sensors" in your eye for the color
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!
I saw a guy who took quite a while to see with them; at first, he didn't see much difference. Then, he suddenly said the colors seemed to be "more separate" and eventually started seeing a huge difference, albeit not perfectly color accurate.
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. 🤣
Yeah its too much my dad is color blind too he sees all colors weird so that sucks Its gonna be hes birthday soon and i want to see hes reaction But sadly not
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.
@Brian Gingras Yes, I did buy a pair. They sort of work to help me pass the color blind dot tests, but not perfectly. When I first put them on it's sort of like looking through rose colored glasses. After a while my brain seems to adjust to a different color temperature and things look more normal. They make okay sunglasses.
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.
@@justinsnider2587how did it go? Did indoor glasses work?I'm curious. I have a pair of outdoor glasses, "CX-2 shade" for deutan (I'm mild deutan), and at first I noticed white things become suddenly reddish, but after a while white turns white again. In my specific case, I have to wait and give it time. I took the enchroma test again but I still failed it. I'm looking at indoor glasses too, because outdoor glasses darken everything too much, and it's very difficult to use them indoor.
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.
well there are different types of colorblindness and of course it doesn't work for everyone due to a variety of factors, but im sure everyone is sorry that they didn't work for you. Some things i hear you can try. This is if you have red/green of course and not other types. Adjust the distance the lenses are from your eyes, see if there is a different distance that something shows up. Your cones/receptors might not register the changes in light at the small distance the glasses are from your eyes and maybe they need to be slightly further away or closer for that narrow vision to occur.
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!
@ This one pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32497581/ seems to say that it can work for some. I guess if they offer a 60 day money back guarantee, just get one pair, take the test with it, send it back if you are not happy
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
I realized I was colorblind by wiring lights together wrong and data as an electrician so my company said they'll cover it cause anything is better than nothing to help me differentiate the different shades of colors that there are. Grey green red orange and blue and purple all fuck me up.
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.
I'm red/green color deficient, and my wife has normal cor perception. I have always been the one to pick out matching household decor, and my wife says I'm very good at it. That being said, with my vision I have trouble seng red flowers in green foliage, and sometimes cannot tell if a red light is on red or simply not functioning.
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
While teaching physics I had a color blind test for the class One senior student was sure that we were lying to him about there being a number inside the circle. I gave him a colored filter and he could see that there was a number. He put the filter in front of his eye and then removed it and put it back and there removed it. This went on for a long time each time saying No S - - -
Do you need special filters for this, or could you use any old coloured plastic like the wrapper from quality street chocolates? Lol. I’m a carrier of the colourblind gene and my 4 year old son has 50:50 chance of being colourblind. I noticed over the past few months that he’s occasionally mistaking greens, oranges, browns and red (which my colourblind Dad also gets muddled up), but with his age it could just be slip-ups with names of colours rather than seeing the colours differently. He’s extremely good with numbers though, so I thought I’d try and get him to do a colourblind test and he was getting some of the numbers wrong or saying he couldn’t see a number… again it could be his age, but after seeing your comment I’m wondering about “playing the number game” again but adding filters on the ones he gets wrong or can’t see a number
I'm studying audio mixing. One trick they find is if you put a notch cut in the EQ, it can enhance what you hear besides the notch. I wonder if it's a similar theory
nope - enchroma only works on anomalous trichromats and dogs are full dichromats - so no. They amplify differences between red and green so if you see no red and green at all - like dogs, they don't work
If dogs have the green, red, and blue cones then maybe, otherwise, it is like asking if a blind person puts these glasses on will they see color. This only opens the gap between the colors.
Hi again! I received my EnChroma glasses! I have great news! My world has changed. I have seen things I have never seen before. A couple examples are I grow chillis and I can never tell when they are ripe, I can now see the change from green to orange to red! I have bushes out the front that have red in the leaves, I always thought they were dull green bushes! My house bricks are red not brown!😂 Reds are amazing, what I thought was a light brown is actually bright orange! I have purple flowers in another shrub, purple is actually so different to blue😂 I can now see that. Even the traffic lights are different, I always thought the red and orange ones were the same colour and the green is bright green not almost white! I also saw a sun rise for the first time. Absolutely stunning! Words can’t describe it, but it wasnt blue and grey with a touch of yellow as I’ve always seen it 😂. I recommend these for anyone with colour blindness. I have post a few pics of what I can see now that I couldn’t before on my instagram @bhutburnz with a small description. Of what I used to see. I’m just amazed!
Sadie B not that I can tell, it has allowed me to see red in everything that I always thought was brown. My fiancé who isn’t colourblind put them on and she said it puts a red tint on everything, but her eyes don’t need correcting
@@bhutburnz779 so when you look at a white wall it doesn't have a pink tint on it? Sorry to be triple checking here it's just that my father and my son are both colour blind and we did the Pilestone glasses and they could pass the colour blind tests as normal with the glasses on and came out as strong Duetan with them off but they returned them because it gave everything a red tint so it was like weird funhouse glasses...so I don't want to pay double for Enchroma if it's the same thing.
Sadie B I don’t see a pink tinge looking at a white wall. But also these glasses don’t allow you to pass a colour blind test, these have allowed me to see reds and oranges amazingly when I used to see them as brown. I also was hesitant getting these glasses and did the colorblind test on their website at least a hundred times to make sure I was getting the right glasses. At the end of the day they can be returned if they do not work. They work for 4 out of 5 people
@@bhutburnz779 I'm from Brazil and I have light protanopia! This week I also bought Pilistone glasses and I realized with sunlight that white as pink, I will return it. I have already ordered an Enchroma; it is expensive, it arrives here in Brazil with taxes equivalent to 550 dollars. If it doesn't work at least I tried!
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.
Just got some.. it feels like everything is more red.. kind of.. if you keep them on for a while things are more normal but red is very vibrant.. but the shocking thing for me was how much grey was taken away. Green against grey like a paved surface with grass growing from the cracks makes the green grass pop like nothing I've seen before.. it made me come to the conclusion that everything looks more green usually through my eyes so green is washed out
Don't forget about those people with color 'deficient' vision... meaning seeing red as pinkish. I have two pairs of Enchroma. They work for me... the red and green are far more intense. It does 'fix' my color deficient issue adter wearing it for several months.
Nice! Yes, the proper term is color deficient (the term color blind is kinda of a pet peeve of most eye docs) but the general population uses the term color blindness.
I lost some color perception after a retina reattachment back in 1996. Some of those Hi-lighter markers are completely invisible to me. Some shades are barely visible. Also some neon greens will appear white from a distance, then fade into green as I get closer.
@@ockertoustesizem1234 It's been legally blind since I was a kid. Now I'm legally blind in both eyes due to diabetic retinopathy only affecting my left eye, which was the eye the retina detached in.
hey! I am back with yet another question, maybe you can help. I have blue green colorblindness, and I have "indoor" Enchroma glasses. In 2022 I will be thru hiking the entire 2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail. When I drive my indoor glasses aren't dark enough. Since I will be in the woods a lot I am considering just bringing my indoors, or do you think I should get the darker "outdoor" glasses, too? I am on the fence obviously because spending 400 more dollars will be hard between getting all my gear and saving up to be out of work to hike for 6 months. I use the indoor ones when I hike now and find myself squinting a bunch at peaks and water sources. I suppose I just want someone to guide my decision. Thanks (:
One very important point not mentioned is that these glasses do not "cure" color blindness. If you fail the "dot" test normally (can't see numbers), if you retake the test with Enchroma glasses on you will still not be able to see the numbers in the dot patterns.
Okay, so I either have deuteranomaly or protanomaly. Online tests all mostly consistently say I'm a mild deutan, however, I don't know for sure, and in terms of actual diagnosis, my eye doctor says I'm red/green color deficient (after I was tested recently) however, my insurance doesn't wanna pay for me to see a color vision specialist that'd be able to give me a more specific diagnosis, so sadly, I won't quite be able to know specifically what kind of enchroma glasses to try out, see if they do much or not. Funny story: I found out I'm mildly red/green color blind because I found out Larry Koopa is severely red/green color blind, so that peaked my interest in color blindness and I just took a color blind test for the fun of it online (enchroma actually), then it claimed I was a mild deutan which I was skeptical about, so I took the test at my eye doctor and I am, in fact, red/green deficient.
Today is the day for my housemate. He has no idea what's coming for him in the post. His colourblindness has been bugging him his whole life, and I finallly could afford to pay out for a pair! Got his mum surprise visiting for it too. 🙃
Encroma are the better quality, but the company has been rude to me in the past lol. Here is a video reviewing Encroma vs Pilestone: ruclips.net/video/JzY7fCMZsV8/видео.html
I have just purchased a pair of EnChroma glasses, I am waiting for them to arrive. I suffer from moderate deutan colour blindness. I will comment again once I receive them about if and how they worked. It should be in a week as I’m in Australia and they’ll take a while to get here. Fingers crossed they make me see things how I should be seeing them 🤞😎

@@bhutburnz779 did you get the indoor or outdoor lenses. I'm in your same boat and was gifted a pair of generic color blind glasses but the lenses give everything a definite red hue. Now that I know my type of color blindness I'm thinking of getting.
Deadkingg13 *Dustin I got the outdoor ones, definitely changed how I see things. We get the best of both worlds if we wear them we see what everyone else sees, when we don’t we have a perspective no one else does 😁
I'm just color blind enough to where I just see red- green colors as slightly faded. It's bad enough to affect my vision, but nothing like that would work for me since I can "technically" see all the colors
@@DoctorEyeHealth I've gotten different diagnoses so I just gave up bc its such a minor thing in my life honestly. Silent hill is one of my absolute favorite series so yes of course 😂
I would try the glasses. The milder your colorblindness is, the better they work. There are videos of people trying the glasses and saying "I thought I was only slightly colorblind". ruclips.net/video/_vpEu9Yizfo/видео.html In the video, Leo makes this comment. Take the test on Enchroma.com to find out for sure.
My husband is color blind. I actually had him watch the part of this video, where you hold the glasses up to the dotted paper, and asked him if he could notice a difference....he said it made the colors brighter.....which surprised me cuz I didn’t think it’d work like that. I thought he’d have to put them on himself. So, is that right?....did it actually work for him through the video, as it would if he were to wear them himself? I was just curious and thought it was neat....if it can actually work that way 😉😁❤️
I honestly dont know! Colors on a digital screen are slightly different than in real life (there are patented colors that can only be created on a computer screen). But that does sound pretty cool! I wonder if you could make a computer screen filter out the same material?
The light spectrum is largely "destroyed" by a trip through a camera/monitor. (There are many videos of this. The improvement is pure "moonshine"). If your husband saw ANY difference in the video,he will definitely see it with the glasses! Being colorblind, and seeing with the glasses is not the same as cranking up the color on a monitor. Get the glasses for your husband! Blow up the balloons, and be ready for a freak out! If he wears glasses for refraction, the ones offered by Enchroma (with prescription) are of the highest quality, especially if he needs progressive lenses.
Brian Park I wish I could, dang it! Those glasses are expensive, from what I’ve looked up. Maybe some day....I would love to see his reaction to what colors actually look like!! And, no, he doesn’t wear/need regular corrective lenses for sight. Thank you for your sweet comment😊
Great video! I learned a lot! I don’t have anyone in my family that I know is color blind but now I where to connect them if I learn of someone who is!
I'm a "strong deuteran" (as my optometrist put it).. I heard about enchroma back when they were just a couple of guys working out of a lab in Berkeley. Back then only a handful of clinics offered their lenses (and only one in Canada). They didn't even have an online presence yet! Being colourblind has definitely hindered aspects of my life.. ie: being a cop, being a pilot etc.. but in other respects, I have learned to adapt. I do sound and lighting at a nightclub on the weekends (as a part time gig) and tbh the lighting console was a challenge to learn. but now I'm pretty good at creating a siiiick light show (even if I can't see half the colours! haha) the only thing still haven't been able to overcome is wiring for electronics. .. that's also a hobby of mine.. and identifying red wires from green wires is impossible on my own. but there is an app that helps me with that. I'm still hopeful to one day give the enchroma lenses a try. I heard a rumour that there was finally an optometrist in Toronto that had enchroma lenses for people to try first... even though the company has a great return policy, being across the border meant there would be a substantial (non-refundable) customs charge just to get them to try on. would have sucked if they ended up not even working for me 🤷♂️
Did not work for me at all. It changed colors, sure. Some colors were more vibrant, sure. But on an A/B I was actually able to distinguish less colores with the glasses on than without them. In fact I started to see colors that were not (like white lights with a pink tint). I discovered that colorblind people tend to have better contrast sensitivity (because of the lack of color sensitivity) and the glasses were messing with that. I really wanted them to work and have that "new world" experience but it was a bit of a bluff.
Would be great if you did a review of the Colorlitelens glasses. Nobody (FAPP) seems to know about them in America and there are no video reviews I know of. I'm not associated with them in any way BTW, it's just that optics is a hobby of mine (I am a mathematician) and Colorlitelens approach is very different than Enchroma, it's based on a controlled hue adaptation, a bit reminiscent of how the orange mask worked on colour negative films - remember those? IOW instead of altering the spectrum reaching the eye (the Enchroma approach) they change the "baseline" of what constitutes neutral grey in certain way. When done right, subtracting this altered baseline results in a higher discrimination of "the difference", according to the research they did. Despite superficial similarity they seem very different than Pilestone which you're probably familiar with. Their web site is interesting, it even includes a tritanopia test.
Great video! I am not color blind, nor do I know anyone who is. I have seen the facebook videoes you described about people being given a pair of these as a gift and getting a emotional reaction. I think the glasses are wonderful, but a little spendy for the average joe. However, I would buy them if I or someone I knew could benefit from them.
Can you show me through different type of Glasses so that I can find out which would I buy . Because enchroma says I have protanopia and Pilestone says I'm deuteranopia
Loved loved your video !! I have moderate Protan color blindness . My family surprised me by buying the glasses for me after I took the test randomly I can’t wait to wear them . They arrive in a weeks time !! Keep up the cool videos !!
Yes, pinhole is nothing magical. we use them in clinic to determine if someone has vision loss that can be corrected through a refraction alone (and not a medical reason). I have picked up a pair of the pinhole glasses found online, they work like any other pinhole occluder but they give me motion sickness and don't improve vision the way people claim they do. I will perhaps do a review of those in the future.
My son is 24 and was diagnosed as being color blind many years ago (online test shows he is strong deutan); how long have these been around? I wonder why his doctor never mentioned these glasses ... I'm planning on purchasing a pair for my son. I just don't know if I should get the indoor or outdoor pair to start.
My friend has these, I tried them on and I could not believe my eyes, I’ve never seen green look so vibrant. I can see green outside like trees and grass, but the glasses made it look so amazing. I don’t believe I have any sort of color deficiency that I’m aware of but was wondering what your opinions are or if any of you had a similar experience
Amazing concept & a great video. However, I seriously doubt that they are actually anti-reflective. When you handled the glasses, there was a very pronounced reflection from the window and your light source and even the most basic contemporary vacuum-deposition AR coating would significantly reduce those. My guess is that the lenses have a sol-gel hard coating that's marketed as AR. There is however a coating that's improving transmission by 50% but that's not something I would spend money on... Still, the concept in itself is awesome!
Hey doctor, been watching your videos since over a month now and all of your video's literally pleases me that I am not the only one who have problems with eyesight btw I have a question I see my own eyelids in my vision and when looking at lights or out of window, I tend to see circles on the eyelashes with a rainbowing tint to it! I have severe dry eyes and tried many things like warm compress, eye massage and eye drops but none of them actually work and I've gone through checkup of several doctors but all of them say your eyes are perfect but I am suffering from this issue from over a month now, plus I have double vision when I close one eye as well it stays and it's more there when seeing like a white text on a black background ( phone's status bar for eg.) And still all doctors say my eyes are normal, please suggest me what to do I cry everytime because of this issue but no one helps me out or understands my problem! 😞
Thank you so much Palash. Im happy to hear your loving the videos. Unfortunately, I wont be able to provide you with personal medical advice without an examination. Perhaps I can make a video in the near future about visual phenomena and why people see things (such as monocular double vision) that would help you better understand. Thanks again for watching!
I'm Green Red colour blind and have known since I was under 5 yrs old i'm 44 now and has defiantly had and affect on parts of my life, from simple things like playing Snooker or 9 ball pool to failing on job interviews due to c.b. test. guessing sometimes can fun though :) People are more appeasing with it more these days but theres always someone who questions what colour i see what colour i see what colour i see hahaha A friend mentioned these glasses to me and found this very informative video and learned loads.. Tidy. I'll definitely be getting a pair...
I did the enchroma test a while back, it said i was moderate deutan but i never noticed anything wrong until today during my lab i messed up the reaction because i mixed up the colored tubes
no because the cones/rods are totally different than the optic nerve. You can have perfectly fine optic cones/rods which are before the optic nerve, and light and color can enter those perfectly fine, but the nerve is damaged and doesn't put through the signal. It would be if you had your TV plugged in with your cable. The signal goes in perfectly fine, but the TV is off, so doesn't matter how good the signal is, or if it works fine, you still can't see anything because the TV isn't on. Nothing wrong with the cones, or rods, etc everything gets to that point just fine, it just won't progress past the damaged optic nerve. I'm guessing his on and off again color blindness again doesn't have anything to do with damaged or weak color receptors/cones, but the optic nerve that reads and relays that information.
Really wanted to buy 1 for my dad who is color blind for almost 60years. Dont have chance yet to buy for him 😔 He got a green color car, but always accidentally told others that his car is brown color 😅
I live in the Netherlands and at the age of 22 I found out that I'm mild protan colorblind. Heard about the glasses, which are Reaaaaly rare here in the Netherlands, and wanted to check them out... Untill I found out there only 1 shop in the entire country who sells them and they cost around €500,- ($600) due to import taxes. It sucks that the ensurance does not cover up for these type of glasses. I can never afford the glasses... Even if it is something I truly desire.
I have done enchroma test it say i have mild or strong deutan but i can differentiate easily between green and red can you tell which colour blindness I have
I assume it depends. I think those with achromatopsia usually have cones and receptors that work fine, they aren't deficient or damaged like red/green colorblindness, etc. its just that the chemicals and molecular process of those visual cones doesn't work correctly, so probably the glasses wouldn't do anything because they only affect the wavelengths of light that can be seen, not the actual molecular chemical makeup of the cone's process to determine color.
The Enchroma glasses ads are misleading. They do not permit you to "see color for the first time" they simply enhance colors so they stand out, better contrast.

Eye Health QOTD: Are you Color Blind and have you tried enchroma color blind glasses? What do you think?
Yes and haven't. ..
Yes, I’m red/green colorblind and I haven’t tried them. I’m a female and sewing is a hobby I enjoy. I’ve often wondered how those glasses would help me. Maybe one day, God willing, I’ll get to see what everyone else is seeing.
I’m colorblind. Just got truly diagnosed 2 days ago. I have Mild Deuteranomalia. I was talking to my optometrist and he owns his own glasses store. I mentioned them to him and he is now interested in stocking them. Never really trusted the online tests.
RussianSpy101
I’m 72 Yrs old and I was truly diagnosed at 20 years of age when I was trying to qualify for a job with General Electric. I had noticed while traveling, my Mom would comment on the pretty red peppers in the fields and also the trees full of red apples. I would turn all the way around in the back seat looking for what she saw and was puzzled as to why I couldn’t see it. She actually carried the same gene as my Dad’s red/green color blindness. That’s all I ever was told the name of the problem was back then. I may never get to try on a pair of the glasses but it sure does sound like a treat! I had heard that not all people with color blindness would be helped with the glasses so I assumed I was one of the unfortunate ones and never got my hopes up. But since watching this video I’m excited about the prospects of seeing what most other people see. However, as you know we see colors, but some are camouflaged and we have problems with the different shades of some colors. It makes me unsure of what I think I see sometimes, especially when buying clothes or trying to match fabrics with thread etc. Regardless of if I do get to try the glasses on or not, I’m grateful I can see and also that I can see most of the beautiful colors in our world that God blessed us with. I hope you can get the glasses and have fun with all you see.🌻
Thank you very much for the video. I placed a comment a few weeks back on wanting to see something about this. Yes, I am color blind. Thanks for the info. Just in time for Christmas.
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.
Hahhaha I dont know why this made me laugh.
😅🤣
Lolollollolllll
I feel his pain I would've said the same thing😂😂
Holly shit
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.
I hear that so much! Glad the surgery went well. Which colors do you notice the most? Blue? Yellow?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Blue is most noticeable, and regaining full blue made whites much brighter.
The feeling is the same when I got my first eye glasses i didn't know the world is this much wonderful that i can see from a far and i can see colors more vibrant and a perfect HD scenery's.
@ as red-green colorblind dude and enchroma user I can say that this is entirely false. I know every color while wearing these and discover ones I haven’t been able to see before. Absolutely life changing. Stop contributing to the age of misinformation.
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. Normally, the lens of your eye is clear. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, which eventually affects your vision.
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.
How is it a scam?
@@jznga There are several youtube essays on how the "science" behind it is all hocus pocus. All the reaction videos were paid promotions. And even this video you commented on it is a paid review.
I'd start with the Megalag videos first.
@@C_R105 got it thanks i was actually considering the item for my bsf who is colorblind
I just saw mega lag's 3 part video and these feels so shitty to watch👽👽
@@jznga they have been exposed
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.
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
Same for my husband. Maybe do you know what is the difference between simple red lense glasses and enchroma? :)
Thanks
Thank you so much! greatly appreciated.
I’m red green color blind, u already know what I’m buyin with my stimmy😂
I hope they work great for you!
is it ok to use that to take ishihara test?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks you!! 🙏
Same here not much but somewhat colorblind when doing the circle number test
Only problem with these. Can't wear them for state police or FBI tests.
They are a total scam. Thank you for supporting people who scam others with a disability.
I'm colour blind and can confirm that they're not a scam.
@@pogmonke5217 That is not physically possible - color blindness is not curable without surgery, and a pair of color filters can not make you start magically see or distinguish colors that your eyes are not capable of processing.
It (may) only, in some cases, help see a difference between 2 colors that you couldnt before, but at the cost of a lot of other colors blending even worse. They do *not cure* color blindness and do not make you see new colors.
In no way they make you see the original colors, not even close, and them trying to make it sound like that is a total scam to me and is just a plain and shameless rip-off of color blind people, and should not be taken seriously.
In the very least, if not a scam, they are a blatant false advertising.
All of the "reaction videos" have been proven to be 100% fake. I'm not kidding, look it up. Some of them have blatant proof of being faked (Especially the ones with the kid and balloons - the kid is literally reading the wrong colors that are written on the balloon, among other signs of it being fake. May influencers sponsored by Enchroma that faked their reaction (like Logan) have later admitted to it being faked and stated that there is actually no difference.)
In most cases, those glasses make your color vision a lot worse, as it's just a pink filter, making colors look way too red, and with that a lot of colors blend even for not color blind people.
It's just physically not possible for a plastic filter to make you see colors, when your brain/eye can not process them itself. That simply does not work.
Note that this video is sponsored by Enchroma.
The only scammy part is the price. They changed the way I see color - so they work, I guess - but the price is outrageous. They should be around $100, $150 at most. Isn’t 5x profit margin enough, Enchroma?
@@pogmonke5217 They are scam company using various marketing and sale tactics, deleting negative reviews, lying about science, lying about FDA and ignoring customer emails who want their money back. You are liar too.
This is all bull, so…
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
Thanks for sharing! Very powerful
Yeah I was thinking about getting some and trying to drive but I wouldn't be able to focus. Sunrises/sunsets are something I wanna be able to see so bad. All I see is like an orangey yellow and then grey. Apparently theres pink in their somewhere
That is a reason I worry about getting a pair, how much have I missed.
@@EdwinLaarzYou really shouldn't I just watched a video before this one the glasses are all just a big scam the reason is you'd have to litteraly give yourself the "sensors" in your eye for the color
You are just lying… the glasses do nothing (scientifically proven) but make everything purple and change some hues …
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!
I saw a guy who took quite a while to see with them; at first, he didn't see much difference. Then, he suddenly said the colors seemed to be "more separate" and eventually started seeing a huge difference, albeit not perfectly color accurate.
they are a scam
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 have red and green colour blindness and seeing through those glasses made a difference 😱
I need to buy these for my dad :)
Edit: i checked the price and nevermind . Or maybe ill save . Idk
how much
Lots of families all chip in for it so it’s more affordable
Yeah its too much my dad is color blind too he sees all colors weird so that sucks
Its gonna be hes birthday soon and i want to see hes reaction
But sadly not
Hahaha. Your poor Dad. "I want to help my dad". Nevermind it's to expensive. He can just suffer.
@@xoxslimxoxslimnation3290 So must take advantage of being able to see all your colors
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.
Did you ever try them out and if so did they work for you?
@Brian Gingras Yes, I did buy a pair. They sort of work to help me pass the color blind dot tests, but not perfectly. When I first put them on it's sort of like looking through rose colored glasses. After a while my brain seems to adjust to a different color temperature and things look more normal. They make okay sunglasses.
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.
I will have the indoor set next week, and will send an update on what I think :)
@@justinsnider2587how did it go? Did indoor glasses work?I'm curious.
I have a pair of outdoor glasses, "CX-2 shade" for deutan (I'm mild deutan), and at first I noticed white things become suddenly reddish, but after a while white turns white again. In my specific case, I have to wait and give it time. I took the enchroma test again but I still failed it.
I'm looking at indoor glasses too, because outdoor glasses darken everything too much, and it's very difficult to use them indoor.
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.
I am colorblind. I bought the glasses. They gave me a headache and did nothing to help with my vision.
well there are different types of colorblindness and of course it doesn't work for everyone due to a variety of factors, but im sure everyone is sorry that they didn't work for you. Some things i hear you can try. This is if you have red/green of course and not other types. Adjust the distance the lenses are from your eyes, see if there is a different distance that something shows up. Your cones/receptors might not register the changes in light at the small distance the glasses are from your eyes and maybe they need to be slightly further away or closer for that narrow vision to occur.
I really really hope they work for my housemate
@@WhoThisMonkeyits a scam bro, search up megalags investigation on enchroma
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!
Hello! I'm also strong deutan, can you share the impressions with the glasses? How are they, is realy that amazing?
I would also appreciate if you can share the outcome of this!
I want one for my bestfriend 😭😭😭

Same, I want to surprise him for this so I checked if it possible and what quality it needed.
@ This one pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32497581/ seems to say that it can work for some. I guess if they offer a 60 day money back guarantee, just get one pair, take the test with it, send it back if you are not happy
Same here man

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
Wow! you and a few other viewers are reading my mind! I wrote out a video on that topic over the weekend. Hopefully coming soon!
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you so much, it would mean alot to us suffering from this condition :)
Is that like static vision?
Ok but can we talk about YOUR eyes? They are mesmerizing 👀💙
Thank you!
I realized I was colorblind by wiring lights together wrong and data as an electrician so my company said they'll cover it cause anything is better than nothing to help me differentiate the different shades of colors that there are. Grey green red orange and blue and purple all fuck me up.
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.
I'm red/green color deficient, and my wife has normal cor perception. I have always been the one to pick out matching household decor, and my wife says I'm very good at it. That being said, with my vision I have trouble seng red flowers in green foliage, and sometimes cannot tell if a red light is on red or simply not functioning.
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
While teaching physics I had a color blind test for the class One senior student was sure that we were lying to him about there being a number inside the circle. I gave him a colored filter and he could see that there was a number. He put the filter in front of his eye and then removed it and put it back and there removed it. This went on for a long time each time saying No S - - -
Do you need special filters for this, or could you use any old coloured plastic like the wrapper from quality street chocolates? Lol.
I’m a carrier of the colourblind gene and my 4 year old son has 50:50 chance of being colourblind. I noticed over the past few months that he’s occasionally mistaking greens, oranges, browns and red (which my colourblind Dad also gets muddled up), but with his age it could just be slip-ups with names of colours rather than seeing the colours differently. He’s extremely good with numbers though, so I thought I’d try and get him to do a colourblind test and he was getting some of the numbers wrong or saying he couldn’t see a number… again it could be his age, but after seeing your comment I’m wondering about “playing the number game” again but adding filters on the ones he gets wrong or can’t see a number
I'm studying audio mixing. One trick they find is if you put a notch cut in the EQ, it can enhance what you hear besides the notch. I wonder if it's a similar theory
Serious question... if you put these on a dog, they’ll finally be able to see color too?
their eyes are different-but people could prob make them for dogs if they did enough reserach
nope - enchroma only works on anomalous trichromats and dogs are full dichromats - so no. They amplify differences between red and green so if you see no red and green at all - like dogs, they don't work
If dogs have the green, red, and blue cones then maybe, otherwise, it is like asking if a blind person puts these glasses on will they see color. This only opens the gap between the colors.
Hi again! I received my EnChroma glasses!
I have great news! My world has changed. I have seen things I have never seen before.
A couple examples are I grow chillis and I can never tell when they are ripe, I can now see the change from green to orange to red!
I have bushes out the front that have red in the leaves, I always thought they were dull green bushes!
My house bricks are red not brown!😂
Reds are amazing, what I thought was a light brown is actually bright orange!
I have purple flowers in another shrub, purple is actually so different to blue😂 I can now see that.
Even the traffic lights are different, I always thought the red and orange ones were the same colour and the green is bright green not almost white!
I also saw a sun rise for the first time. Absolutely stunning! Words can’t describe it, but it wasnt blue and grey with a touch of yellow as I’ve always seen it 😂. I recommend these for anyone with colour blindness. I have post a few pics of what I can see now that I couldn’t before on my instagram @bhutburnz with a small description. Of what I used to see. I’m just amazed!
Does everything you see have a red/pink tint to it when you wear the glasses due to the lens?
Sadie B not that I can tell, it has allowed me to see red in everything that I always thought was brown. My fiancé who isn’t colourblind put them on and she said it puts a red tint on everything, but her eyes don’t need correcting
@@bhutburnz779 so when you look at a white wall it doesn't have a pink tint on it? Sorry to be triple checking here it's just that my father and my son are both colour blind and we did the Pilestone glasses and they could pass the colour blind tests as normal with the glasses on and came out as strong Duetan with them off but they returned them because it gave everything a red tint so it was like weird funhouse glasses...so I don't want to pay double for Enchroma if it's the same thing.
Sadie B I don’t see a pink tinge looking at a white wall. But also these glasses don’t allow you to pass a colour blind test, these have allowed me to see reds and oranges amazingly when I used to see them as brown. I also was hesitant getting these glasses and did the colorblind test on their website at least a hundred times to make sure I was getting the right glasses. At the end of the day they can be returned if they do not work. They work for 4 out of 5 people

Very nice work, awesome review!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
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.
Just got some.. it feels like everything is more red.. kind of.. if you keep them on for a while things are more normal but red is very vibrant.. but the shocking thing for me was how much grey was taken away. Green against grey like a paved surface with grass growing from the cracks makes the green grass pop like nothing I've seen before.. it made me come to the conclusion that everything looks more green usually through my eyes so green is washed out
Hahahha I realized that my friend was color blind while playing among us🤣
Don't forget about those people with color 'deficient' vision... meaning seeing red as pinkish. I have two pairs of Enchroma. They work for me... the red and green are far more intense. It does 'fix' my color deficient issue adter wearing it for several months.
Nice! Yes, the proper term is color deficient (the term color blind is kinda of a pet peeve of most eye docs) but the general population uses the term color blindness.
I lost some color perception after a retina reattachment back in 1996. Some of those Hi-lighter markers are completely invisible to me. Some shades are barely visible. Also some neon greens will appear white from a distance, then fade into green as I get closer.
That's crazy
does your other eye work good
@@ockertoustesizem1234 It's been legally blind since I was a kid. Now I'm legally blind in both eyes due to diabetic retinopathy only affecting my left eye, which was the eye the retina detached in.
Your videos are perfect. Great job! Please, make a video about amblyopia.
SO SOON! I wrote it out over the weekend 😁 Thank you so much!
hey! I am back with yet another question, maybe you can help. I have blue green colorblindness, and I have "indoor" Enchroma glasses. In 2022 I will be thru hiking the entire 2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail. When I drive my indoor glasses aren't dark enough. Since I will be in the woods a lot I am considering just bringing my indoors, or do you think I should get the darker "outdoor" glasses, too? I am on the fence obviously because spending 400 more dollars will be hard between getting all my gear and saving up to be out of work to hike for 6 months. I use the indoor ones when I hike now and find myself squinting a bunch at peaks and water sources. I suppose I just want someone to guide my decision. Thanks (:
One very important point not mentioned is that these glasses do not "cure" color blindness. If you fail the "dot" test normally (can't see numbers), if you retake the test with Enchroma glasses on you will still not be able to see the numbers in the dot patterns.
That is a very good point. I will bring that up in my future color vision videos
I don't think this is the case
@@chrisanderson5386 The author of this video agrees with me and I actually had a pair and tried it.
my teacher gonna get some color blind glasses because of you thank you!!
I always learn so much here! Great content...😊
Thank you! Glad you found it interesting!
Okay, so I either have deuteranomaly or protanomaly. Online tests all mostly consistently say I'm a mild deutan, however, I don't know for sure, and in terms of actual diagnosis, my eye doctor says I'm red/green color deficient (after I was tested recently) however, my insurance doesn't wanna pay for me to see a color vision specialist that'd be able to give me a more specific diagnosis, so sadly, I won't quite be able to know specifically what kind of enchroma glasses to try out, see if they do much or not.
Funny story: I found out I'm mildly red/green color blind because I found out Larry Koopa is severely red/green color blind, so that peaked my interest in color blindness and I just took a color blind test for the fun of it online (enchroma actually), then it claimed I was a mild deutan which I was skeptical about, so I took the test at my eye doctor and I am, in fact, red/green deficient.
Today is the day for my housemate.
He has no idea what's coming for him in the post.
His colourblindness has been bugging him his whole life, and I finallly could afford to pay out for a pair!

I'm not colour blind but I am curious if these can be fitted with prescription lenses as well ? Thanks
My husband is color blind. I actually had him watch the part of this video, where you hold the glasses up to the dotted paper, and asked him if he could notice a difference....he said it made the colors brighter.....which surprised me cuz I didn’t think it’d work like that. I thought he’d have to put them on himself. So, is that right?....did it actually work for him through the video, as it would if he were to wear them himself? I was just curious and thought it was neat....if it can actually work that way 😉😁❤️
I honestly dont know! Colors on a digital screen are slightly different than in real life (there are patented colors that can only be created on a computer screen). But that does sound pretty cool! I wonder if you could make a computer screen filter out the same material?

That’s exactly where my head went with this....if you create an app that does this....I get a percentage!!!😉😁
@@DoctorEyeHealth or windows and windshields 🤔
The light spectrum is largely "destroyed" by a trip through a camera/monitor. (There are many videos of this. The improvement is pure "moonshine"). If your husband saw ANY difference in the video,he will definitely see it with the glasses! Being colorblind, and seeing with the glasses is not the same as cranking up the color on a monitor. Get the glasses for your husband! Blow up the balloons, and be ready for a freak out! If he wears glasses for refraction, the ones offered by Enchroma (with prescription) are of the highest quality, especially if he needs progressive lenses.

I wish I could, dang it! Those glasses are expensive, from what I’ve looked up. Maybe some day....I would love to see his reaction to what colors actually look like!! And, no, he doesn’t wear/need regular corrective lenses for sight. Thank you for your sweet comment😊
Great video! I learned a lot! I don’t have anyone in my family that I know is color blind but now I where to connect them if I learn of someone who is!
I'm a "strong deuteran" (as my optometrist put it).. I heard about enchroma back when they were just a couple of guys working out of a lab in Berkeley. Back then only a handful of clinics offered their lenses (and only one in Canada). They didn't even have an online presence yet!
Being colourblind has definitely hindered aspects of my life.. ie: being a cop, being a pilot etc.. but in other respects, I have learned to adapt. I do sound and lighting at a nightclub on the weekends (as a part time gig) and tbh the lighting console was a challenge to learn. but now I'm pretty good at creating a siiiick light show (even if I can't see half the colours! haha)
the only thing still haven't been able to overcome is wiring for electronics. .. that's also a hobby of mine.. and identifying red wires from green wires is impossible on my own. but there is an app that helps me with that. I'm still hopeful to one day give the enchroma lenses a try. I heard a rumour that there was finally an optometrist in Toronto that had enchroma lenses for people to try first... even though the company has a great return policy, being across the border meant there would be a substantial (non-refundable) customs charge just to get them to try on. would have sucked if they ended up not even working for me 🤷♂️
Did not work for me at all. It changed colors, sure. Some colors were more vibrant, sure. But on an A/B I was actually able to distinguish less colores with the glasses on than without them. In fact I started to see colors that were not (like white lights with a pink tint). I discovered that colorblind people tend to have better contrast sensitivity (because of the lack of color sensitivity) and the glasses were messing with that. I really wanted them to work and have that "new world" experience but it was a bit of a bluff.
Just watch the video proving these glasses and testimonials were a scam.
You would think you would take this down.
Would be great if you did a review of the Colorlitelens glasses. Nobody (FAPP) seems to know about them in America and there are no video reviews I know of. I'm not associated with them in any way BTW, it's just that optics is a hobby of mine (I am a mathematician) and Colorlitelens approach is very different than Enchroma, it's based on a controlled hue adaptation, a bit reminiscent of how the orange mask worked on colour negative films - remember those? IOW instead of altering the spectrum reaching the eye (the Enchroma approach) they change the "baseline" of what constitutes neutral grey in certain way. When done right, subtracting this altered baseline results in a higher discrimination of "the difference", according to the research they did. Despite superficial similarity they seem very different than Pilestone which you're probably familiar with. Their web site is interesting, it even includes a tritanopia test.
Great video! I am not color blind, nor do I know anyone who is. I have seen the facebook videoes you described about people being given a pair of these as a gift and getting a emotional reaction. I think the glasses are wonderful, but a little spendy for the average joe. However, I would buy them if I or someone I knew could benefit from them.
Can you show me through different type of Glasses so that I can find out which would I buy . Because enchroma says I have protanopia and Pilestone says I'm deuteranopia
Loved loved your video !! I have moderate Protan color blindness . My family surprised me by buying the glasses for me after I took the test randomly I can’t wait to wear them . They arrive in a weeks time !! Keep up the cool videos !!
so, did you see colours more vibrant? did it work??
Did they work?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say they likely didn't work because they're a scam. I'm genuinely sorry you went through that
I am colorblind myself and wear glasses normally so I was wondering if there's an option for people who already wear glasses
If you are real doctor pls burn your degree
Can these be made to be corrective prescription glasses also?
I wish you had a raffle for that glasses. I have a deutan color blind and, i don't have much money to buy that kind of glasses.
According to most colorblindness tests I have red/green colorblindness of course I didn't believe it until now-
Doc can I have that kind of glass I'm suffering color blindness..thank you
How long did they take to arrive
Thanks for the info. Have you ever done an evaluation of the pinhole glasses and their claim to improve vision?
Yes, pinhole is nothing magical. we use them in clinic to determine if someone has vision loss that can be corrected through a refraction alone (and not a medical reason). I have picked up a pair of the pinhole glasses found online, they work like any other pinhole occluder but they give me motion sickness and don't improve vision the way people claim they do. I will perhaps do a review of those in the future.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for debunking the myths, and bringing out the practical and realistic things in eye care.
How to buy this?
I need this glasses where available this glasses
My son is 24 and was diagnosed as being color blind many years ago (online test shows he is strong deutan); how long have these been around? I wonder why his doctor never mentioned these glasses ...
I'm planning on purchasing a pair for my son. I just don't know if I should get the indoor or outdoor pair to start.
I have protamomaly. Do you think these will work for me?
I feel bad for george :((
Dreamteeaaam
Same man
My friend has these, I tried them on and I could not believe my eyes, I’ve never seen green look so vibrant. I can see green outside like trees and grass, but the glasses made it look so amazing. I don’t believe I have any sort of color deficiency that I’m aware of but was wondering what your opinions are or if any of you had a similar experience
İ tried the color blind test many times i can see only 2 or 1 of the numbers of all test
me too
Amazing concept & a great video. However, I seriously doubt that they are actually anti-reflective. When you handled the glasses, there was a very pronounced reflection from the window and your light source and even the most basic contemporary vacuum-deposition AR coating would significantly reduce those. My guess is that the lenses have a sol-gel hard coating that's marketed as AR. There is however a coating that's improving transmission by 50% but that's not something I would spend money on... Still, the concept in itself is awesome!
Hey doctor, been watching your videos since over a month now and all of your video's literally pleases me that I am not the only one who have problems with eyesight btw I have a question I see my own eyelids in my vision and when looking at lights or out of window, I tend to see circles on the eyelashes with a rainbowing tint to it! I have severe dry eyes and tried many things like warm compress, eye massage and eye drops but none of them actually work and I've gone through checkup of several doctors but all of them say your eyes are perfect but I am suffering from this issue from over a month now, plus I have double vision when I close one eye as well it stays and it's more there when seeing like a white text on a black background ( phone's status bar for eg.) And still all doctors say my eyes are normal, please suggest me what to do I cry everytime because of this issue but no one helps me out or understands my problem! 😞
Thank you so much Palash. Im happy to hear your loving the videos. Unfortunately, I wont be able to provide you with personal medical advice without an examination. Perhaps I can make a video in the near future about visual phenomena and why people see things (such as monocular double vision) that would help you better understand. Thanks again for watching!
@@DoctorEyeHealth oh okay not a problem, Thanks alot for replying though, Hope you have a wonderful day ahead 😊
Sir I want to bye these enchroma colour blindness glasses

I'm Green Red colour blind and have known since I was under 5 yrs old i'm 44 now and has defiantly had and affect on parts of my life, from simple things like playing Snooker or 9 ball pool to failing on job interviews due to c.b. test. guessing sometimes can fun though :) People are more appeasing with it more these days but theres always someone who questions what colour i see what colour i see what colour i see hahaha
A friend mentioned these glasses to me and found this very informative video and learned loads.. Tidy.
I'll definitely be getting a pair...
Did you get a pair and did they work?
I did the enchroma test a while back, it said i was moderate deutan but i never noticed anything wrong until today during my lab i messed up the reaction because i mixed up the colored tubes
"some of my colorblind friends"
bruh how many friends do you have, that you have "some" colorblind friends???
Hey would someone with dominant optic nerve atrophy be able to get anything out of these? He has this and also has color blindness at times..
no because the cones/rods are totally different than the optic nerve. You can have perfectly fine optic cones/rods which are before the optic nerve, and light and color can enter those perfectly fine, but the nerve is damaged and doesn't put through the signal. It would be if you had your TV plugged in with your cable. The signal goes in perfectly fine, but the TV is off, so doesn't matter how good the signal is, or if it works fine, you still can't see anything because the TV isn't on. Nothing wrong with the cones, or rods, etc everything gets to that point just fine, it just won't progress past the damaged optic nerve. I'm guessing his on and off again color blindness again doesn't have anything to do with damaged or weak color receptors/cones, but the optic nerve that reads and relays that information.
Hey dochter i have RED AND GREEN AND ORANGE COLOUR BLIND I NEED SPECIALES ... WHICH TYPE OF GLASS NEED AND COST PLS

Hi
Do u have any videos on Fuchs’ dystrophy or DSEK eye surgery.
Thank you from New Zealand 🇳🇿🙏
I live in the Netherlands and at the age of 22 I found out that I'm mild protan colorblind. Heard about the glasses, which are Reaaaaly rare here in the Netherlands, and wanted to check them out... Untill I found out there only 1 shop in the entire country who sells them and they cost around €500,- ($600) due to import taxes. It sucks that the ensurance does not cover up for these type of glasses. I can never afford the glasses... Even if it is something I truly desire.
How is order?
Love from India ❤️❤️
I have done enchroma test it say i have mild or strong deutan but i can differentiate easily between green and red can you tell which colour blindness I have
I have achromatopsia and I was wondering if the glasses work for that or is there no fix
Did you get this glass? Did it work?
I assume it depends. I think those with achromatopsia usually have cones and receptors that work fine, they aren't deficient or damaged like red/green colorblindness, etc. its just that the chemicals and molecular process of those visual cones doesn't work correctly, so probably the glasses wouldn't do anything because they only affect the wavelengths of light that can be seen, not the actual molecular chemical makeup of the cone's process to determine color.
The Enchroma glasses ads are misleading. They do not permit you to "see color for the first time" they simply enhance colors so they stand out, better contrast.
I am from Bangladesh. How can i buy this glass
