Since I'm yellow/blue blind in one eye, but not both, it would be really interesting to try these lenses since I would be able to describe the way things look from both colour blind and "normal" vision. Also, I read that they haven't really tested these glasses with yellow/blue blind folks (red/green blindness is far more common) to know if it is all that useful for them.

I am very curious about this. Which color do you see when you look at yellow and which when you look at blue? And do the other colors look the same as with your other eye?

  It depends on what kind of yellow. Dark yellow can look tan or even pinkish. Light yellow is white. I can't see yellow highlighter at all unless the light is making it glow - then it just looks shinier than the surroundings. Light blue is generally cyan, and otherwise it is pretty much black. I actually quite like "lego blue" or "versace blue" because they look so extremely different between each eye. The colour that surprises people most is that blue and green both look the same, and by "same" I mean they both look like cyan - pretty much an entirely different colour. At night time, the blue light on the buses and the green traffic lights are exactly the same colour of cyan to my left eye. They're the normal blue and green to my right eye. Only some colours "agree" between both eyes. For example, the HN logo is very close to the same colour. Only I can tell it is orange with the right eye. It looks simply darker (and therefore browner) with the left. And red looks like red. That one we can pretty much all agree on.

Wow, how old were you when you noticed this condition?

  It was my art teacher who pointed it out in grade 9. I always just thought it was normal and never put thought to how different each eye colour was. My dominant eye* is the colour blind one, so it affects the way I paint things unless I actively remember to match what I see in my right eye only. And even then my colours tend to be wonky because I'm just used to seeing things this way. I get made fun of my colour labeling often enough - especially when I comment on the colour of food items. Like both orange and purple are different shades of brown. Purple looks richer, like chocolate, though. Orange is more like clay. * To tell which eye is your dominant one: with both eyes open, stretch your arm out and point at something. Without moving, close one eye, then switch. Only one eye will be lined between your finger and the pointed-to object. That's your dominant eye. The other is used for context and 3D resolution.
