Corrective Lenses For Colorblindness

[Jim Koepke]

Saw this today:


EnChroma, a company in Berkeley, California, has created colorblindness correcting glasses, which allow those who are colorblind to see hues they may have never experienced before. While the sunglasses, which are meant for outdoor use in daylight, were first released two years ago, the company's new version is made from polycarbonate -- a material that's kid-friendly and usable in sports.

They are not cheap, but for some they may be worth the price of admission.

I wish they were a little more forthcoming on the science. From what I gather, they provide a couple of deep notch filters on either side of the primary colors, leading your brain to think the primary colors are brighter / more vivid than previously.
