Colour Blindness
Research Reveals the Power of EnChroma Lens Technology
Recent research shows that EnChroma’s patented lens technology can improve colour vision for those with red-green colour blindness and expand the range of visible colours. The study, conducted by UIW, revealed wearing EnChroma glasses:
- Stimulated the brain’s colour vision center
- Showed immediate and long-term improvement
- Showed 3 to 5x improvement after 6 months
How Do EnChroma Glasses Work?
Based on the latest colour perception neuroscience, EnChroma lenses filter light to alleviate the red/green colour cone sensitivity overlap that leads to colour confusion. Approximately 80% of people with red-green colour blindness will see an expanded range of visible colours and distinguish shades more accurately.
