I teared up a little. You bastards!

I saw this this morning and nearly posted it. It makes me want to start a charity to provide them for poor color blind people.

But now he won't be able to see the subliminal messages on billboards, or the aliens themselves.

These glasses own Google Glass for that owner.

I saw one of their booths and went to try it out. I'm Red/Green colour blind, but not all the way. I know it helped out my mom a lot, but it did little for me. I wonder what that feeling is like. =)

The look on his face reminds me of American Beauty and the guy's reaction to a dancing plastic bag in the wind... "There so much color in the world... I just can't take it..."

Nice.

My son has red-green color blindness.
I read about these and got them for him this spring---He loves using them---bright sunlight is best---

They're damned expensive, but...

I was OK until "Look at your kid's eyes, they're so pretty..."

$400+ seems crazy expensive for glasses that offer a pseudo cure.
I think I'll wait until they can inject the cure directly into my eyeballs.

I had never heard of these -- I'm still a bit baffled as to how they could possibly work. I'm not colorblind myself but a good friend is red/green colorblind, I'll have to see if he knows about them.

Assuming $400 is an accurate price, it still really doesn't seem that expensive to me. I'm pretty extremely nearsighted -- roughly minus 8 -- and my glasses (with frames) already cost almost that much just because my prescription is on that far end of the bell curve. Without glasses I can't see a damn thing more than 3-4 inches in front of my face, so I basically *need* them no matter the price.

Actually, I remember having a reaction somewhat like this guy when I got glasses for the first time ("holy crap! I can see *leaves* on trees!"), and my eyes were much better then than they are now...

I wear corrective glasses and am colour blind. I get about just fine with imperfect colour vision but would have a horrible time without my prescription glasses.
I think the prescription glasses cost is more justified as the lenses are unique to the wearer, whereas he enChroma lenses seem to be 'off the rack' from what I could tell on their website, I could be completely wrong however.

I wouldn't mind testing out a pair to see the difference, but from what I understand they simply enhance the difference between the hues you have difficulty distinguishing rather than actually improving your vision in any way.
For people like the Dad in the vid the price tag might be worth it, judging by his reaction, so it's all subjective.

If he's like me he'll sit on them in 15 minutes or so.

If you folks that are color blind want to see in color without spending $400 there is a solution, albeit a very temporary one.

Hit acid.

No seriously. A good friend of mine is red/green color blind and when we used to hit acid a lot in our 20's he could suddenly see every color. He could pick out the red in the sunset, the green of the grass.

These glasses though, I'm gonna have to tell him about them. People spend $400 every day on regular glasses or shit, fancy shades. $400 seems a pittance to see the world as it is meant to be seen.

I was really excited about this, but they only seem to be for red/green - my dad has monochromacy. For a minute there, i thought woah what a miracle, i have to get it. Sad come-down, folks..

Cool, now make some that let full visible spectrum folks see further into the infrared and ultraviolet. You can never have enough colors.
