ENCHROMA - Colour Vision
Enchroma lenses are glasses designed to make it possible for people with red green colour deficiencies to discriminate between colours that previously appeared the same. This can be life changing for some people.
What is Colour Blindness?
Most types of colour blindness occur when there is an excessive overlap of the M (green) and L (red) colour cones in the eye, causing distinct hues to become indistinguishable. As a result, the number of shades of colour a typical colour blind person can see may be reduced by as much as 90%.
What is Protan Colour Blindness?
Protans are people with protanomaly, a type of red-green colour blindness in which the red cones do not detect enough red and are too sensitive to greens, yellows, and oranges.
As a result, greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and browns may appear similar, especially in low light. It can also be difficult to tell the difference between blues and purples, or pinks and greys. Red and black might be hard to tell apart, especially when red text is against a black background.
What is Deutan Colour Blindness?
Deutan colour blindness (also known as deuteranomaly) is a type of red-green colour blindnessin which the green cones in the eye detect too much red light and not enough green light.
As a result red, yellow, green, and brown can appear similar, especially in low light. It may also be difficult to tell the difference between blues and purples, or pinks and greys.
