Causes and Challenges of Color Blindness
While people with normal color vision see over one million shades of color, those with color vision deficiency only see about 10% of those hues and shades. As a result, their worldview is dull and less vibrant, with some colors appearing muddled, muted, washed out, or indistinguishable.
The color blind can struggle to see the red in a flower, the variation of colors in a rainbow, a painting, the true hair or eye color of a loved one, red and green stoplights, and more. In viewing artwork, the color blind may struggle to see some colors. In school, the condition can cause frustration and challenges in learning.
How EnChroma Glasses Work
EnChroma’s patented lenses are engineered with special optical filters that enable the color blind to see a broader range of colors more clearly, vibrantly, and distinctly so they can experience colorful art, and the beauty of nature, overcome everyday challenges, and better understand and appreciate colors.
Importantly, EnChroma glasses are not a cure or correction for color blindness, they work for approximately eight out of 10 people with red-green color blindness, do not provide full-color vision, and results and reaction times vary.
