The Enchroma glasses are sunglasses specifically made for the color blind. When someone diagnosed with color blindness puts these glasses on, their world is enhanced and more realistic to the way people without color blindness see the world. These glasses range in a price from $300 to $429 for people that don’t need a prescription and $450 to $600 for prescriptions added. People that try these glasses for the first time are amazed by the wide variety of new colors. These glasses can help up to 80% of people with color vision problems. These glasses help correct the cone cells that do not respond to light inside the retina and they enhance colors to all new levels. They remove certain wavelengths so that the cone cells can respond to colors the proper way. The glasses are one unique innovation, but the people’s reactions when they try the glasses for the first time are even better and heartwarming.

Its a crazy concept to believe that modern technology can correct suc biological issues. Any idea who created them?
Andrew Schmeder! He is the creator of these specific glasses and was the first to do it
I think this is such a good idea. It is very impressive to have made this. I think it is great for color blind and lets them experience the greatness of color.
This is such an amazing idea! I know several people who are colorblind and they would love to try these out. I would like to see peoples reaction when using these for the first time! Great post!
I know a few people who have purchased color blind glasses and this technology has definitely impacted them. It is amazing what new technology like this can do.
These glasses have always fascinated me. I think they represent constant trial and error. The product forces the creative to constantly interact with the intended market for the product. We should learn a lot from products like these glasses.
WOW this is such a cool and relevant idea! I can’t imagine what those people experience when they can see those colors for the first time!
This is a really cool idea with an inspiring application. Enabling the color blind to see the world in its full color spectrum is really amazing.
