You wont believe your eyes about what we’re about to tell you. If ever there was a Christmas tale to cheer you up then here it is dear reader.<\/p>\n
For the very first time, someone has been shown their true colours. A 23 year old man, once colourblind is no longer due to a snazzy pair of EnChroma specs. In fact it was actually a birthday gift he treated himself to.<\/p>\n
These pair of glasses were purchased by Alex Kriz and turned out to have a unique gift of their own. EnChroma glasses are extremely special as they utilise a ground breaking technology for colour blind sufferers. The glasses allow the user the ability to view different types of shades that are often brown in appearance.<\/p>\n
Impaired colour perception is otherwise known as Protanopia. For an individual this means a complete loss of tow colours, most commonly red and green. Furthermore, you can only view less than 5,000 shades which is less than 1% of normal colour perception. Consequently, the sufferer only sees a muddy mess of brown and greyish tones.<\/p>\n
However, once the glasses are on, the wearer can benefit from a sharp differentiation of both red and green, whilst seeing others distinctly. If you are eyeing up a pair, let us delve deeper into how they actually work.<\/p>\n
EnChroma glasses do not add colour but filter as well as pull apart mixed up ones. This is all done through chromatic contrast enhancement. A snazzy way of alleviating colour blindness you might think but the effects are overwhelmingly successful.<\/p>\n
The results have been nigh on staggering as people have found colour discrimination incredibly accurate. This in turn allows them to see a number of different vivid colours instead of a muddled mess.<\/p>\n
