its great but for the kind of color blindness i have its only a little effective

I mostly regret buying these glasses. I was led to believe that they would correct my color-blindess. I was led to believe I was colorblind. I am not colorblind. I see color. I just don't see colors like someone with normal vision. The Enchroma Website tested me and told me I am a strong Deutan colorblind. When I asked my Eye doctor about it, he was very skeptical as "deutan" is not a word used in eye medicine much. We talked about my green/green color deficiency and I learned that my eyes are incapable of seeing enough of the reflect light off some colors to register them as they are commonly seen. Here is a quick breakdown of the Enchroma solution to this. You are wearing a pair of color filtering glasses. they block some colors in order to enhance other colors to "correct" those color intensity so that you can see the targeted colors "correctly" The problem is that only someone with color impairment can really verify whether they work or not. The glasses work pretty well outdoor where there is an abundance of visible light. If you move indoors where the is less light or worse artificial light like incandescent or florescent which make light with their own color intensity the glasses stop filtering what you are seeing and the colors will actually get worse. Another thing I picked up on is if you watch a movie in a movie theater, the available light is gone and with glasses on I can barely see anything as highlights are lost as the glasses filter out what I am seeing. This is less true with TVs and LCD screens like phones and computers. The reason for this is that I can actually see most colors as intensely as a normal person would because of the color correction built into these screens. I only wear my EnChromas now (they are prescription glasses) on rare occasions when I go outside. They are practically useless with inside wear and after wearing them for long periods I tend to get eyestrain and a headache. Which points to the fact that corrective glasses should not be making your eyes do the work. Would I recommend these glasses? No. They are too expensive to experiment to see if they do what you are hoping. Maybe if they price of them were under a $100. Maybe. I would be curious to see how many people still wear theirs for regular use.

I was strong doutan, but i dont want to buy glasses for 230$ thats its a big price
