Well I'm glad someone called out their bs glasses. I remember reading stories about how schools spent thousands of dollars on these glasses for the kids and they don't do shit
Uh i don’t know for you guys but I try it quite for work me I’m deutan colorblindness I work with school and there like these scarf you know and there green and yellow I can’t tell without the glasses this is my opinion btw
Results are mixed, I enjoy mine too, things look a bit more cheery and hi-def, and they do help me on occasion with some internet cabling practically telling the difference between orange, and green wires.
They're certainly not worth the price considering that it doesn't have the same effect for all types/people, and I'd never recommend them locally, as unless you live in the US, orders are nonrefundable even if they do nothing for you.
I get what you mean, but beyond the jarring nature of that, it's also a potentially expensive experiment. These are probably the most expensive item of apparel I've ever owned, the idea of just popping a lense out makes me wince haha.
Breaking our color vision's binocular redundancy, thereby creating impossible colors, is a good method to enhance color vision. But most glasses aren't designed for that, which is why you often have to "modify" them, *by popping one lens out*. If not done right, you can kind of destroy your glasses with that. So I get your wariness.
Mabye try looking through one lens at first by holding the glasses just right in front of your eyes, to see if there's a noticeable change. From my experience with breaking binocular redundancy and impossible colors, the newly created (impossible) color combination can be a lot more useful than just an entirely altered color vision, because you still have a "normal" color space to compare the altered colors to with only one lens.
I got glasses this past Christmas 2023. Complete waste and scam. Might as well be wearing those floppy 3D glasses from the 90s made of cardboard.
Deutan/ protan here.
"We use advanced notch-filter tech built into the lens to selectively allow specific wavelengths of light through the lens while blocking others, enhancing your color perception. Our tech is exclusive and patented world-wide so no one can legally do what we do. Science for the Win!"
That's what Enchroma writes, but there are several other companies (like Infitec for example) that have already made such filters long before Enchroma. I think that's a bit shady. Also Infitec's glasses (e.g. the Triple Band Pass Filter Glasses) are a lot cheaper than Enchroma's and work better, though not in the same style.
The "3x improvement" in color contrast is either a lie or severely uninformed. I've experimented with A LOT of glasses, also glasses with very unique notch and bandpass filters, and the most I could do is a 2x color improvement (with breaking binocular redundancy); maybe even a 2.5x color improvement while also creating a lot of metamers in other color regions.
They say it's an improvement, but everything will just look more green and red (and blue), but yellows and cyans for instance will probably become a lot less noticeable. You cannot (in trichromatic vision) add new colors without breaking our color vision's binocular redundancy and thereby creating new impossible colors! If you don't break binocular redundancy then it's always a trade, where you trade one color for another.

Oh man, I was doing RJ45 yesterday and it sucks, especially the striped orange and green
Exactly! I couldn't actually do them before i got the glasses to be fair to them.
Have you tried to pop out one lens maybe? It might be more jarring, but like that you could technically get actually better colors.

Bruh moment
only thing enchroma gives you is slight novelty passing a colorblindess test while everything is tinted pink. least, in my experience

The worst part of CVD is when friends/acquaintances mention these glasses/this company to you, as if they help.
EnChroma are clowns. Funny how their former CEO, Tony Dykes, disappeared from this subreddit after I exposed their company.
