EnChroma colour blindness glasses increase the contrast between the colour signals, alleviating symptoms of colour blindness for a richer experience of the world.
Enhance your child's full-colour experience and boost their confidence with better learning.
The glasses are designed to address forms of red-green colour blindness and are not intended to assist the vision of people with blue-yellow colour deficiency.

EnChroma lenses are engineered using a revolutionary lens technology developed in the early 2000’s by a glass scientist and UC Berkeley educated mathematician.
Developed to increase the contrast between the colour signals, alleviating symptoms of colour blindness for a richer experience of the world. Colour blindness can cause each person to see colour differently, colour blindness glasses are designed to improve the colour vision of people with forms of red-green colour blindness, they are not intended to assist the vision of people with blue-yellow colour deficiency.
When light enters the eye, it activates millions of photoreceptor cone cells that can normally detect all the colours of the rainbow. The three types of cone cells, which send signals to your brain, are sensitive to different parts of the visible colour spectrum and are generally referred to as blue, green and red cones.
Most types of colour blindness occur when there is an excessive overlap of the green and red colour cones in the eye, causing distinct hues to become indistinguishable. As a result, those with colour blindness only see a fraction of the millions of hues and shades of colours seen by those with normal colour vision.
Colour blindness or colour vision deficiency (CVD) includes a wide range of causes and conditions and is actually quite complex. It's a condition characterized by an inability or difficulty in perceiving and differentiating certain colours due to abnormalities in the three colour-sensing pigments of the cones in the retina. Each cone is responsible for processing different wavelengths of light:
Usually when people talk about colour blindness, they are referring to the most common forms of red-green colour blindness, which are genetic conditions caused by a recessive gene on the X-chromosome, but there are other types as well.
Red-green colour blindness can be broken down into two main types:
Protan-type (“pro-tan”), which is a disorder of the first “prot-” type of retinal cones also called the L-cones (red), and Deutan-type (“do-tan”) which is a disorder of the second type of retinal cone also called the M-cones (green).
Red-Green Colour Blind
Colour Cone Sensitivity: Green
Deuteranomaly is the most common type of colour blindness, affecting about 6% of men. It is characterized by a reduced sensitivity to green light, making it difficult to differentiate between shades of red and green.
Red-Green Colour Blind
Colour Cone Sensitivity: Red
Protan (“pro-tan”) is the second most common and is characterized by a reduced sensitivity to red light. People with protanomaly have difficulty distinguishing between shades of red and green.
Blue-Yellow Colour Blind
Colour Cone Sensitivity: Blue
EnChroma develops optical lens technology that selectively filters out wavelengths of light at the point where this confusion or excessive overlap of colour sensitivity occurs. EnChroma lenses alter the signal to the M (Green) and L (Red) photoreceptor cones in such a way that there is a greater colour contrast along the so-called “confusion line” for that individual.
Our lens technology increases contrast between the red and green colour signals, alleviating symptoms of colour blindness for a richer experience of the world. With the application of science, optics, mathematics and more than 10 years of clinical research, EnChroma continues to advance the field of colour vision research and bring new products to market that solve unique colour deficiency issues.

A groundbreaking new study found EnChroma colour blind glasses, which are engineered with technically advanced spectral notch filters, can enhance colour vision for those with the most common types of colour blindness. Test subjects experienced immediate improvement, which persisted long-term even after subjects stopped wearing the glasses. The researchers also found that wearing the glasses stimulated the colour vision processing center of the brain
Colour blindness is not a singular condition. It encompasses a range of conditions, from mild to severe, that can cause each person to see colour differently. EnChroma glasses are designed to improve colour vision of people with forms of anomalous trichromacy, which are estimated to comprise four out of five cases of colour blindness. The most common types are Protanomaly and Deuteranomaly, which are forms of partial red-green colour blindness. In the most extreme cases, the complete absence of one of the cone photopigments, called Protanopia or Deuteranopia, are considered dichromats who may see limited results due to the complete inability to see red and green colour differences. Reduced colour discrimination of shades of blue and yellow is called Tritanomaly, or Tritanopia which is not a type of what is commonly referred to as red-green colour blindness, but is also a form of colour vision deficiency. EnChroma glasses are designed to address forms of red-green colour blindness and are not intended to assist the vision of people with Tritan-type deficiency. Fortunately, most cases of colour blindness respond well to EnChroma spectral lens technology, enabling the perception of bright, vibrant colour.
EnChroma has taken colour blind testing to the next level. Unlike old and outdated Ishihara tests developed back in 1917, our new colour blind test uses the science of cone isolation to test the sensitivity of each of your eye’s three colour-sensing cones and scores them to show you how close or far you are from having normal colour vision. And, unlike any other colour blind tests on the internet, our new colour blind test can be taken while wearing EnChroma colour blind glasses so you can compare your before and after results to see the improvement in your colour vision deficiency.
A colour blindness test is quick and simple you will be shown a series of coloured circular images with numbers within them very similar to the images below, you simply select the number that you see.

Our family of EnChroma Cx lenses are uniquely engineered for the most common types of colour blindness and different lighting conditions to optimise your colour vision throughout the day.
EnChroma Outdoor Lenses are designed to enhance colour vision outdoors in bright sunlight or partly cloudy conditions and also serve as sunglasses delivering 100% UV blocking and glare protection.
EnChroma Indoor Lenses are designed to be used in typical indoor lighting conditions to enhance colour vision while performing activities including but not limited to school work, cooking, watching sports or movies, browsing the web, playing video games, board games art projects and so much more.
For best results, all EnChroma colour blind glasses should be used around bright, full-spectrum lighting. Where there is light, there is colour!
Proprietary Spectral Lens Technology: Our award-winning lens technology is the result of more than a decade of pioneering research by EnChroma scientists, and is uniquely engineered to enhance colour vision for people with colour vision deficiency.
