I apologize for my ignorance of the specifics of color blindness, I don't suffer from it myself. I've just been so fascinated by the concept of these glasses th

  There is also a very large range of responses to the EnChroma glasses. I've seen or heard about plenty of intense reactions to them, but my personal experience has not reflected that. My brother-in-law and I are both colorblind (mine is not as severe as his) and he bought a pair a few years ago. He enjoys the difference but not enough to wear them consistently, and they had a barely perceptible effect on my own vision, just giving green a bit more "pop". I think the main issue is that it's easy to group all colorblindness together even though "huh, I guess my shirt really is purple" is very different from "I look at streetlight positions, not colors." That said, even my mild colorblindness puts me at a massive disadvantage on certain Halo maps or against certain team colors. In situations like that, I might as well be fully colorblind asI end up having to play based on movement alone.

    I always assumed the large range of responses was due to a large variation in the way color blindness manifests. Also perhaps on how your neurons have adapted to the condition; I wonder if age plays a role?
