Imagine if they had glasses that could let you see in Mantis shrimp vision, people would loose their minds.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
(Mantis shrimp can perceive 16 different colors, and can perceive the polarization of light)
Lathor
they dont really work though do they? seen people do this stuff for views on youtube and such
mariemcd
for some types of colour blindness, yes they work.\

Send different bands to different eyes, and you could see 6 colors instead of 3.

Those would also cause people to start crying, so yeah, same thing!

Can you imagine how beautiful that towel must look to someone whose only ever seen in shades of grey?
Fuzzgoat
Yeah, most colorblindness is just not being able to properly differentiate between two colors (red/green, brown/orange, blue/purple).
Fuzzgoat
Your brain isn't able to distinguish between the two wavelengths so the different colors end up looking more or less the same.
dopamine14
I'm protan colorblind. I can still see colors but I have a hard time with green/red and blue/purple.
Fuzzgoat
There are dozens of us. Probably a lot more actually.

It's far more rare in females, though. Or so I've read.
Fuzzgoat
I think that's true. Of my extended family, only males have it.

Right on. I'm the first female in my family to have it.

Do people see new colours? The idea you could be shown a whole new colour blows my mind just thinking about it.
JonSnowy
Read The Giver
kalamitykode
Or watch it. The movie was surprisingly good. Book is always better, though, obviously.
SagesUnfortunateEvents
The other books by that author are really good as well! Definitely recommend looking into them if you liked the giver
phantomlink
That part of the book I never understood as a kid sure its a dystopia but how did the entire world go colourblind and not know what death is
Lonewolf0713
I believe colourblindness was population-wide genetic modification with 99% success rate. Death was a control-over-culture thing.
SquidJesus
Something similar is happening now. The whole world turns to politics, forgetting their neighbors.
GadenKerensky
I'd say it's also partly a sensory overload in a sense.
machetebetty
I had a buddy who had them but sold them after a while for that reason.
b4k3dg00ds
100% this I'm colorblind and a friend brought a set to bonaroo and hot damn if your entire brain doesn't fucking implode.
GadenKerensky
Well you've gone so long without a particular facet of a sense, to suddenly have it thrust upon you without prior adaptation is overwhelming
tallbo
Its just viral marketing though. They will all still fail every colorblind test.
MrWolfwood
Color blind people need a filter for the light coming in, they see too much red, or green, or blue. Glasses exist for outdoors and indoors
tallbo
Yes, Enchroma - I am very familiar with the company for at least 4 years. We have patients who wear them. They all still fail CB tests 100%
JustTheMostLiberal
The website even states "These are not a cure for colorblindness or to be used to pass colorblind tests" Your point is valid but unnecessary
tallbo
Ok well that is a more recent addition to the site. That makes me feel better. However when all these viral ad videos came out those
tallbo
Disclaimers were NOT on the site and people were being duped, people I had to deal with
MrWolfwood
All of this information can be found by any search engine!
tallbo
If they really worked I would be making them left and right. When you speak to the technical directors at the company their claims are much
tallbo
More muted and humble than the viral adds because they don't want to have a guy like me catch them lying. Still cool stuff though
tallbo
The will not pass colorblind tests. ANY of the tests. Trust me I've performed them. Go ahead and down vote tho...
pizzapartyhard
You're getting downvoted for being a killjoy and missing the point, not because they think you're wrong.
tallbo
What "point"? That people are paying hundreds of dollars for glasses that they think will fix their childs color blindness?
pizzapartyhard
That it makes them happy.
JustTheMostLiberal
I don't think the point of the glasses is to enable them to pass a colorblind test. Kinda like a flight sim doesn't mean you can fly a plane
tallbo
The tint was serendipity. They advertise fixing colorblindness in their viral ads. People buy them because they think it will fix their
tallbo
Rgcb and they are expensive but really snake oil. As an optical lab when you call them they are very hesitant not to claim
tallbo
The tint was not designed for anything other than to block out certain wavelengths of light for people qorking with lasers
TheLoneliestGiraffe
His brother is also colorblind. They were given a special set of glasses that lets them see the true colors of the world. Beautiful.

I really want a pair of these, but it's about $900 for a pair of prescription glasses. That's the price that I checked last.
bennie30e
Nope. Closer to $300. Enchroma is the name of the company.
GenuinePope
Is that for prescription lenses??
bennie30e
Sorry for the delay. No, the lenses are not prescription.
GenuinePope
No problem, thanks for the info!
WellBehavedZombie
To be honest, normal people don't see all the colors of the world. There's a lot of color we don't have access to at all.

A single special pair? As in the brothers need to share? Tease.
wagnus
Not all those alternative colors! Period!

MY HUSBAND GOT THESE! He was in tears when he saw that he married a redhead! I got a pic, its pretty funny/touching.

My wife is colorblind. We can't afford the glasses for her :(
OreoBorealis
She must be very unlucky...but I bet she has a lot in common with her dad.
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
God no, her dad is a twice convicted pedophile. I dream of killing him some nights.
OreoBorealis
Ah, well. I was making a science joke. Colorblindness is an X-linked gene, meaning it's very unusual for females to be colorblind.
OreoBorealis
Her father is definitely colorblind and her mother is a carrier for colorblindness.
lilbabykendylbear
I thought women couldn't be colorblind? Idk why I even thought that
worldsokayestspeler
How do those glasses even work? Whats going on?
tallbo
They don't really work that well or I would sell them. The accentuate certain wavelength s by blocking others
worldsokayestspeler
Ah. Thats neat, i knew they couldnt be perfect and there had to be some trickery
tallbo
Maybe one day they can get better
Flyndaran
Gene therapy on colorblind monkeys shows that it's possible to give enhanced perception to adult primates. So hope exists.
tallbo
It gives people a feeling of enhanced color perception - but they still will fail all colorblind tests. They will feel like they see more
CliffordJohnsonMiller
Yeah, to do it well you'd need a camera and a program to reassign the colours to part of the spectrum they can see.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
That's not how vision works.
tallbo
Pretty neat stuff. I almost started selling them about 4 years ago. It was a tint designed for working with lasers.
ChihiroDidNothingWrong
As a colourblind person who has used colour correcting lenses they do not work like this at all. People with colour deficiency are 1/3

thomasthetankimgurine
There's different kinds of colour blindness though, there is no universal fix, but some can be prescribed fully corrective glasses.
bob493
Im a medium protan, should I get them?
ChihiroDidNothingWrong
They can help you tell different colours apart you wouldn't have noticed were different, they have a return policy so if you can, try them.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
You could send the different colors to different eyes, though
ProfessorBlackHole
Thank you.

Devante
Thanks. No pulling wool over my eyes!
mokisaur
Ophthalmic tech here. You are both right and wrong. No they don't allow you to truly see the colors you can't, but they will make them>>
mokisaur
easier to distinguish an more vivid and also work differently depending on the type of colorblindness. You can easily trick the eye into>>
mokisaur
believing it is seeing a color that it isn't by altering wavelengths and relying on cones and rods that exist already.>>
mokisaur
It's def not as hype as it's made out to be, but for some people it is deserving of the emotional response.
Pangs
Same. It's interesting, but it isn't a tear-inducing mind fuck.
TrueNorthernLights
They get to see colors mucch more vividly. Just because you wouldn't find it emotional doesn't mean no one would. Be nice.
JayceFromStateFarm
I've tried the glasses, it was more of a "huh, cool" kinda moment.
davecoulierssuperfullhousefanclub
Yeah these guys are reacting like they were cured of full blindness not color blindness
ChihiroDidNothingWrong
Physically missing parts of the eye that let us process certain colours, these lenses make it easier to distinguish confusing colours but2/3
JaxDagger
agreed 100%
LazyEngineer
Yes problem of cones cannot be corrected by such aids
ChihiroDidNothingWrong
Can't show us new colours. Enchroma, the company that makes these, have said vids like this are likely fake and misrepresent the product.

Fucking interesting thanks

Thanks for correcting the misperception. :) I watched as far as the guy putting on glasses before I scrolled down in doubt.
jombimoobi
They help differentiate certain colors, but NOT show new colors. In my case, greens look darker and reds become brighter and more orange.
3point141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105
Not to mention the fact that these glasses can take from 30 minutes to 4 hours to actually start working. It's not instant Technicolour

Then how come lots of videos show people seeing purple and reds for the first time? There's tons of them, they can't all be fake.

Winamp
jombimoobi
we always "see" the full spectrum, but have different sensitivity to the ratio of colors, therefore different color perception.
jombimoobi
Blue and purple are almost the same to me, but with MY enchroma perscription they're more distinguishable (same with orange vs lime green)
