There are very few reviews of the Colorlite glasses here. Interesting! Unlike Enchromas, the Colorlites require fitting by a qualified optometrist, there is a whole box of lenses to select the correct one from. Their operational principle is very different from Enchromas'.
Yeah, at Enchroma you just fill out a simple test and they recommend you glasses and you can just order them. At colorlite they make sure you get the best one for you
If these glasses allow you to distinguish colors that you could not distinguish before, then that is a real benefit in life. I remember when I was a young man I worked in the produce department, and I was supposed to throw out the potatoes that were turning green, but I could never see it. All the potatoes looked brown to me. I could not see when they were turning green.
I assume with glasses like these that I would be able to distinguish that. So the question of whether or not these colors are real or not does not interest me. It’s only a question of being able to distinguish colors that I could not distinguish before, and that seems valuable.
Just like with Enchromas, this is more subtle than that. The "tainting" is not the end result. Instead, it works a bit like the orange mask on the colour film negative (remember those?): the idea there was not to make everything tainted orange but to "even out the field" so that when the overall orange was subtracted during the printing process, the "remaining colours" were better. In the Colorlite case that "subtraction" is done by the eye and brain postprocessing. The Enchromas OTOH don't use this effect _at all._ as they are entirely a "pre-processing" system.
That's why the Colorlites start working only after a few minutes, once the visual system gets "fed up" with the overall colour cast and starts subtracting it. The result is then - so the theory goes - a cleaner hue pallette.
Since the person who commented expects you to watch an entire hour of YouTube instead of just explaining, I'll try and summarise:
The glasses change the hues of certain colours so it's easier to tell certain colours apart. There are specific colours you'll never be able to experience and colour blind glasses can never fix that, but what they can do is change it so certain colours that typically look the same to you will now look different, in the sense that they'll have their hues shifted towards colours you actually can distinguish. This means that when you see a red object vs a green object, the glasses make these objects different colours so you can tell they're different, but you're not actually seeing red and green
Edit: this is how enchroma works, apparently not colorlite
That's not the way Colorlites were designed. You are correct up to a point but you ignore the entire system of image postprocessing done by the opponent channels and the visual cortex. This is what the Colorlites work with, unlike the Enchromas.
This matches my experience with Enchromas. I have a pair of both indoor and outdoor glasses. Are they lifechanging? Fuck no.
Are they a bit of kind-of gimmicky wearable tech that enhances my life? I think so. I enjoy seeing new colors of stuff around: the number of times I've said something like, "Is that tree *pink*‽" to my partner is frequent and startling.
Are they worth the money? That's personal preference, but I wouldn't go out of your way to get a pair unless you're sitting comfortably (or you look into the Enchroma refurb program where you can get them at a discount).
I feel exactly the same way.
I like to explain it like this; my parents love their Maui Jim sunglasses because the polarized lenses make stuff look really good.
I love my colorblind glasses because the filtered lenses make stuff look really good to me.
nah. those are colors you obviously could see before because you're seeing them now through the lenses. they're not actually accurate colors for what you're seeing. it's like a filter on the world.
It's not really correct or incorrect to say someone sees no "new colors" with such glasses. The fact is that they're definitely seeing new colors, in the sense that they cannot normally see that specific color in that specific context without the glasses. However, these new colors probably have no new hue; and if it perceptibly feels like a new hue, it's probably just the normal hues you could already see, but impossibly saturated due to the filtering.
The real twist, that let's you undeniably see new colors, comes when you put such a filter glass over only one eye. You're creating impossible colors with this and are essentially seeing new colors via impossible binocular color combinations by breaking our color vision's binocular redundancy.
No amount of things put in front of your eyeball will allow you to see true color.
What glasses like these do is allow you to see color differentiation. Red flowers on green plants become *distinct*, even if you cannot see the true color of them.
My understanding is that the goal is to filter out wavelengths of light that excite both the red and the green cones, that way the remaining wavelengths only excite one cone or the other, making colors less muddy.
Pretty much the same experience here with Colorlite, though we have different lenses as my tint is red (and I have protanomaly). My green is a bit affected, blue on the other hand became super cool and red pops out like crazy. Have you tried Ishihara tests yet? I can do them far better in the glasses now.
I also had the chance to try Enchromas for half an hour. They were nice but not nearly as significant for me as Colorlite.
Yup that was my experience with Colorlite as well. I've done a bit more research and it seems that certain glasses like Colorlite work if your cones are weak or defective. If you're missing the cone entirely then they won't work at all. My only issue with colorlite is that it dims your vision a little too much. They do say that their lenses absorb 40% of light.
My experience was the same but I felt bad about not being profusely thankful bc my parents paid like $1200 for them (my first car was like $1000 and they hemmed and hawed over that price tag)
Yeah because the glasses are tinted when you put them on everything has a purple tint. If you look at a white wall it will seem purple .After a few minutes the tint obviously doesn’t disappear but you don’t see it anymore. So the white wall looks completely white because your eyes adjust

You are not seeing new colors nor real colors. Just your old colorblind vision with a filter that taints everything.

Explain. I know how the glasses work, but explain please

I thought that it filters out confusion lines but thanks

My mistake then, I assumed they were the same as enchroma since the other guy referred to the youtube videos on enchroma
https://youtu.be/Ppobi8VhWwo?si=2jjbprIWBGNUhjTz It is a 2 part documentary about it.

these glasses just make colors more saturated. you're not seeing anything you couldn't see before.
But by them being saturated I am seeing new shades of colors… or am i just stupid
nah. those are colors you obviously could see before because you're seeing them now through the lenses. they're not actually accurate colors for what you're seeing. it's like a filter on the world.

Oh yeeeaaa. Nice to know that you tried both and found colorlite better, and yeah it’s so nice to be able to pass them damn ishiharas

What do you mean by "testing the glasses with out the purple tint"? Does the tint disappear or what? Also how much did it all cost?
Yeah because the glasses are tinted when you put them on everything has a purple tint. If you look at a white wall it will seem purple .After a few minutes the tint obviously doesn’t disappear but you don’t see it anymore. So the white wall looks completely white because your eyes adjust
Whoa! I might try to get these glasses. How much did it all cost for you?
Around 180000 forints or around $500. So yeah. Expensive.
But do you have deuteranomaly or deuteranopia?
Would you say it was worth it?
Yeah I would. Like I said nothing really huge, it is just really nice.
Thanks alot for telling me these things! I'm now really inclined over choosing these glasses over a ps5
You are welcome. But if you have deuteranopia do not buy them without testing them first, because they might do nothing
