- abetusk 4y agoHave you tried using those colorblind glasses? Maybe something like Enchroma [0] or dichroic filters? [0] https://enchroma.com/ https://enchroma.com/
- bragr 4y agoI can't speak for OP's colorblindness, but for me those do basically nothing.
- rbt5009 4y agoI'm highly red/green colorblind. I got a pair of these as a gift and they allow me to differentiate between reds/greens much more clearly and to see red where I wouldn't notice without them. I know for some people they don't do much, but it makes hikes and such much more colorful for me!
- solarmist 4y agoOoo! Good tip. Hiking with them.
- vegardx 4y agoThis company has so shady marketing. They don't work as advertised. The way they hire actors to play out wholesome videos and upload them to YouTube as if it's organic content, with massive fake users to comment and push up false claims and down vote brigade all negative comments should tell you all you need about this shady company.
- maushu 4y agoYou should try a reverse colorblindness test like this: https://www.colorlitelens.com/color-blindness-test/secret-of-ishihara-hidden-plates.html https://www.colorlitelens.com/color-blindness-test/secret-of...
- stuckkeys 4y agoI just took a test. I cannot see shit in color. Haha. Fuk! Do those glasses actually help reverse this? I can clearly see RGB. But some hues look the same. Are people born color blind or is this wear and tear kind of situation?
- zenexer 4y agoIgnore this test. It doesn’t work on a computer. You need to take in in-person using specially-printed images.
- OJFord 4y agoMaybe they don't work to rule it out, but I am colourblind (as diagnosed in-person with specially-printed images by a professional optician) and when people have pointed me at these images on computers (only slightly less annoying than 'can you see this?', 'what colour is my shirt?') they've always 'worked' as expected.
- zenexer 4y agoThis particular website doesn’t work on a computer. I’ve seen others that work well enough. This website is just broken. I believe this version is intended to only be legible if you’re colorblind, but good luck actually using it.
- Moissanite 4y agoThat is one of the worst designed things I have ever seen. The instructions barely made sense at all for the first test, and for subsequent ones where you can enter 2 responses there is absolutely no indication what should be going on.
- jansan 4y agoI actually laughed at this one, you are a real hacker.
- rbt5009 4y agoI'm also colorblind and this cracked me up. I sent your comment to my friends who don't believe I can't see the numbers in those tests.
- nbaugh1 4y agoHad a friend who was absolutely convinced we were all pranking him when doing a colorblindness test. We were all doing the test because about 15 minutes prior, someone had asked him to grab a pink object off of a shelf and he came back with a green one in total seriousness
- antognini 4y agoMy mom had me tested in kindergarten when we were learning the colors and I couldn't get pink right. I kept confusing it with white.
- bobmaxup 4y agoMy kindergarten teacher basically beat me with their voice for not being able to get my colors correct. Two years later during art class, I was sent to the school nurse to find out I was colorblind. However, they never told anyone, not even my parents. It really should be a part of general screening upon admittance to primary school. Then again, this was 30 years ago, so maybe it is now.
- canucker2016 4y agoIn grade 6, an adult came in to class to do a colourblind test on everyone. Projection screen was lowered, lights turned off, and a series of multi-coloured dots on many slides were displayed one after another on the screen. In the dots, there were numbers / letters in colours different from the general background colour of the slide. Adult: "Can everyone see the number?" Almost everyone: "YESSSSSS." One boy: "Ummm - there's no number on the screen!" Pregnant pause. One boy: "Oh yeah. Now I see it." Almost everyone turns their head to look at that one boy. Test continues. Afterwards, the one boy was selected for further consultation...
- therealdrag0 4y agoWhat cracked me up is when tons of color blind people on Reddit discovered peanut butter is not green.
- solarmist 4y agoLol, yeah, sometimes an analytical mind works against you by taking things too seriously. This is when it would've been good to ask someone about it.
