As someone with a green deficiency, I'm not impressed. These glasses may distort the natural colour spectrum enough to be useful as an assistive technology when dealing with bad accessibility, but I wouldn't buy them unless colour distinction was essential to my work.
Implants or gene therapy would be interesting. Assistive technology, not so much.
- gibsonje 12y agoSince you called out green deficiency specifically I think you're one of the few people I've seen actually define their specific colorblindness, instead of just saying "red/green colorblind". I have the same, green deficiency (deuteranopia) and I've read others with it who have tried this had little to no benefit. It's good to see it confirmed again. It's tempting to buy but I would be severely disappointed I think based off everything I've read.
- pluma 12y agoI just think calling everything "color blindness" isn't particularly helpful in discussions about color vision. In everyday conversations I just say I have a "red/green weakness", which is what most people know it as in my language (German). However the term carries a few unfortunate implications (namely, that it's just about distinguishing red and green in general, which couldn't be further from the truth). If you're in the same boat as me, having to explain yourself whenever you tell people what it means to be "color blind", I've found this article helpful: http://critiquewall.com/2007/12/10/blindness http://critiquewall.com/2007/12/10/blindness (the images are nearly indistinguishable for me, except for a few variations in intensity and subtle changes in hue).
