From the Enchroma website:
"Do these glasses work with normal color vision also?"
"The EnChroma Cx lens causes a very powerful “super-color enhancement” effect. The same “boost” that it gives to the vision of a person with color blindness can be appreciated with normal color vision as well. In addition, the lens also has a neutral color balance, which means that your sense of color accuracy is not compromised or disturbed.
We have received testimonials from some customers who have normal color vision that the glasses have beneficial effects on their mood, such as from seasonal affective disorder. While this is an interesting potential application, this particular use case has not been studied in detail yet and we do not have any official claims that can be made regarding this use.
The EnChroma Team all wears the Cx Sunglasses, even though most of us are not color deficient–and we love wearing them!"
- danieltillett 11y agoI was thinking if they could be used to try and get the equivalent of tetra-chromacy.
- Eric_WVGG 11y agoYup. Apparently they weren't even invented for colorblind people; they were popular among surgeons because the glasses would enable them to better differentiate what's going on in a pool of guts. The story is that a colorblind friend of a surgeon thought they looked cool and just asked if he could try them on.
