I took introductory physics for two semesters. Learned about how light works and how our eyes see it. Even though the scam was obvious to me, seeing actual scientists back up the BS in this marketing to an audience of millions of people was truly eye opening, not for me, but hopefully for a lot of others. Although I'm not colorblind, I really appreciate your explanation on how it's not really a lifechanging cripple but just a small inconvenience. Thank you for your journalism, mate!

I never take that claim on products very seriously.

The term “approval” is only ever used for drugs, while devices get “cleared.” Glasses would certainly be devices, not drugs, so it is actually illegal for them to claim they are FDA “approved.” If you’re curious, clearing a device often requires little more than showing yours is similar to a device that already exists. While approval means experimental evidence of both safety and efficacy for a drug

As someone who bought the enchroma glasses, here's what i got: I have protanopia and its given me issues since my teachers tried to teach me colors in preschool. So when I learned about these glasses, I jumped at the opportunity. What i found is that these glasses DID help me differentiate colors like blue vs. purple, but as stated in the video, it made some colors I could see HARDER to tell apart. It made many colors prettier or more vibrant than my normal vision, but not accurate. In addition, the glasses seem to only work well outside and it aways took about 10 minutes for my eyes to adjust. In conclusion, these glasses are a cool gimmick that cost hundreds of dollars and are shrouded in dishonesty.

From my understanding the best they can do is shift colors so that they're more in the range of what you can see so that you can tell apart colors that you couldn't otherwise. But that comes at the cost of making the colors wrong because you have to push a wider spectrum in a smaller one. There's no way that glasses magically make you actually see more colors. It's like shifting infrared and ultraviolet into visible colors because humans can't see that in general
As a non-colour blind person, can confirm this is what colour looks like. The world is magenta for us.

I have blue light filtering glasses that i wear all the time, and they do help differentiate browns and greens easier, but i think thats because the yellow tint makes the greens brighter. Nothing scientific, but something ive noticed that helps. I cant imagine how a bright red tint would help at all though.
If you select the toggle that says "I'm wearing enchroma glasses", their test seems to skip over the hardest tests and doesn't do the control at all where it shows an empty circle

My stepdad is colour blind and i thought getting him a set of these would be a nice christmas present. Watched all the reaction videos and also thought the people now naming colours they had allegedly never seen was suspect and couldnt wrap my head around how a set of glasses could cure a problem in the actual receptors in an eyeball. Glad i went with my gut.

This is the first I've heard of them, but it's kinda like saying your 1980's alarm clock radio can pick up wifi streaming mp3s or black and white film can pick up color tints. The best could be some filtering of light to simulate a different color but if your eyes lack the ability to see certain colors there's nothing a filter can do to increase the receptiveness of your eyes.

We believe in the positive impacts EnChroma glasses have on individuals and the strength of the ever-evolving scientific research that is our foundation. As is often the case with scientific innovation, it is natural to be skeptical. Watch our video to learn the science-backed facts behind our glasses: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnaOr5SFqbiel5s.html
I’m a graphic designer. I went to school for all things art and design, so we absolutely study color and the science behind it. The science of light, perception, color theory, the anatomy of the eye, etc. If you know how color works and how the eye receives color, you absolutely know that no color blind glasses will ever work. To simplify, we see color through wavelengths of light. Pure white is all visible wavelengths combined, black is a complete lack of light. If you see blue, it is because material is absorbing all light except blue wavelengths, and it is bouncing blue light to your eye. Human eyes have structures inside called cones, which we mostly identify as 3 kinds. They are decided into a responsibility for perceiving one of three colors: Red, Green, and Blue. For light, those are the primary colors, and all color combinations can be made from those 3 colors. So, if a cone is not functioning correctly, your eye is having trouble or lacks the ability to understand its appropriate input of light. The receptor cannot read the information, so to speak. So no amount of colored glass or materials put in front of your eye will ever make a broken receptor read what is in front of it. It is like expecting a person to receive and read your text message when their phone is broken because you got a signal booster. Sure, your device amplified your signal, but the receiver is broken so they will never get your message. You have to fix the broken phone, not strengthen the signal. Perhaps in the future, one day our medical technology would advance far enough for cone replacement or repairment surgery.

I've known I'm colorblind since around 16 years old. A few years later I was applying to the LAPD, and during my physical, they perform color-blind testing, they make you line up the little cups too (so frustrating). I was telling all of the clinical staff that I knew I was color blind, but I had to do the test anyway. At the end of the physical testing, the physician came in and gave me my results. He say's " I'm sorry to tell you this"...I think he's going to tell me something is wrong with my heart or something...."you're colorblind" I couldn't help but laugh, he made it seem like he was giving me a terminal diagnosis

@@AnimeFreak40K I am honestly extremely outraged at this video. Doing investigative journalism on an obvious scam(it's a partial scam not a full one), without understanding the scam in full and showing it only in it's negative light. Color-blind glasses do work, but they only work for a small subset of individuals, most users will not get the *new colors* experience, anyone that actually does moderate research into color blindness/cures would know that. The glasses DO however fix* some types of color-blindness and can be more noticeable for some individuals, if normal vision means colors are red is a 10, green is a 10, etc, then color blindness means red can be a 1 or 2, and not really be noticeable but there. The glasses having a strong red tint is INTENDED because it helps boost that frequency which helps adjust the colors you see. The SCAM part of Enchrome and color-blind glasses is 2 parts to a 3 part problem. 1. Price, they are massively ovepriced 2. White-Lie/OBFUSCATION of information, the claim that it *cures* color-blindness and curate the adverts/promotions around this without saying unless you read the fine print, which I do believe is on each colorblind glasses brands website but often is overlooked 3. They actually do work but they only work for some, which means they are using the emotional argument and real experiences of people that it does effective massively for their gain. YET, it still WORKS, just not 100% for EVERYONE. This is similar with balding treatments just to name another, but there are many that behave exactly like this. Now, you failed to even perform some accurate tests but rather held glasses up that were intended to be tinted heavily at a camera that absorbs normal light, to an audience that sees normal light. How people don't realize how fucking stupid that is I cannot fathom. You are just asking if NORMAL vision inviduals can see RED, YES, WE CAN. This is not the only instance of utterly stupid comparisons. Now the reason I am truly outraged about this video, you dragged one of my favorite youtubers through the mud, 2hearts1seoul. You were strangely obsessed with showing off this smaller youtuber who does weekly*(this will come up later), wholesome vlogs instead of doing your grift on the more obvious scammer Logan fucking Paul who has years of precedent being a fucking scammer. I've watched 2hearts for years and they've talked about their color blindness on several occasions years before enchroma became a thing. Sarah, is a very honest and loveable person, and while not being naive, she will let her heart take over. The reason why the video had their affiliate link ready at the end was INCREDIBLY simple. It was recorded in one day as B footage in case they did sign up, because they wanted to keep the same aesthetic for the whole video and they were flying out the next day because they were currently abroad. I watch every single one of their videos, they record hours and hours of B roll footage, Sarah is VERY picky about the aesthetic of her videos and will always strive to make it feel congruent and flow well. She is a HYPER planner, which is also shown in all her actions in how she takes care of her family, her pet, and her lifestyle. I am telling you, this is so obvious it's mindblowing why someone would drag them through the mud, to the point where it is DISGUSTING. Two. Kyuho has never changed his persona, he is very easy to read for anyone that watches their videos on the regular. He is very simple. He can't fake anything. Which was EVIDENT on the video when it was released because of the outpour of positive comments. I was there when it was released, there was no comment being deleted, no negative comments saying it was fake, the like ratio was incredible. This also goes into their NEWER videos that debunk your debauchery you call a video. You can read positive comments about people that LOVE these two, and I do mean LOVE, for days on both of the videos where there should be MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS. THERE is NOT ONE negative comment that I've seen that has gone above the ranks of the thousands of positive comments for these two. I was curious and continued to scroll both of their newest videos and it was NOTHING but love, and I do mean NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THEM. This should be so incredibly telling for the casual individual. They have a 100% ratio of people that love these two. WAKE UP. THE COMMENTS GO FOR MILES GO CHECK FOR YOURSELF!! Now I'm going to help you out and assume this was a human error on your part, you got fixated on one person because you likely only got correspondence back from them, and your own brain rot got fixated on one that one issue so you thought you had a *story*. Viewers of this video need to beware of falling for another *scam* hype video. Utterly atrocious behavior. Honestly though you downright fucked up and I would not be surprised if you get sued, but you certainly need to apologize profusely to them and take this video down at the very least for this utterly gross negligence you call *journalism*
I called BS on these from day one. The people around me called me a grumpy curmudgeon because I didn't believe the videos, especially after hearing that it works by filtering OUT color. My friends got me a pair as a gift and were upset when I didn't break into tears like the videos. At which point some of them started accusing me of faking being colorblind. Or that I was faking them doing nothing to prove a point. They couldn't wrap their heads around the possibility that the videos on the internet were lying, not me.

I have been posting criticism of the “see color for first time” language in comments sections of these gullible articles for years. I have never received a response or request for clarification. Same for colorblindness forums when someone asks about these glasses. I finally gave up. Thank you for not giving up! The glasses can have very specific positive uses, but they don’t improve anyone’s quality of life.
They function entirely on the fact that (for example) a red light and a blue light both result in purple combined light, but there is also purple wavelength light that is perceived as exactly the same purple colour, but has neither red nor blue wavelengths. That’s why a kid knows what orange looks like (he has seen true orange wavelength light before) even though a different object that we see as orange might look yellow to him because that particular object is not really reflecting orange wavelengths but rather red and yellow wavelengths that we are perceiving as orange in combination. Maybe he cannot perceive the deep red wavelength, only the yellow. Whereas an object that is truly only reflecting specifically orange wavelengths is not affected by his inability to see deep red.

Exactly! There is no magic product to help me see the colors and shades I can't. Even special corrective video game display settings don't work at all.
dude anyone that uses the glasses knows 'how' they work. All of our perceptions are 'relative' and what the glasses do is simply "change the weights" of the colors by controling passage of specifc frequencies. So in a sunny day we can really see the world in a different way and be able to discriminate things that other people always discriminated but we failed too. Like two towels of mine that i always though were the same color but weren't. Basically, my normal vision is 'red-dead' (lacks red), and when the glasses take out other colors, it makes all colors 'lack' "the same".( Which is the same as saying red gets lit. This is the whole point of how perception works. Pretty basic btw.). This idea portraited in the video ('the glasses don't give you any new sensors') simply misses the point completely.

I actually bought some enchroma glasses (refurb so far cheaper than new) for my partner a number of years back, but I never promised him full colour vision or the ability to see hues he'd never seen before After researching it myself I figured the main benefit was that he might be able to tell some greens and reds apart that previously would have been identical, like separating them to remove some overlap. Overall I suspected his entire range of colour vision might even be reduced slightly, but widening the gap between green and red was the goal And... it worked He was never reduced to tears, didn't see new colours, but he was able to finally spot red flowers in a green bush. He could also see the difference between lush green grass and dead brown grass which would blend together previously, and contrast in general seemed to be improved. For 4 years they've been his favourite pair of sunglasses I feel like they genuinely had a good product but just completely stuffed the marketing big time.

As I understand it, the theory behind these is that most people with deuteranopia (the most common type of colour blindness) still have three kinds of cone cells (red, green and blue), but the red and green ones have more overlap in their wavelength sensitivity than normal. What the glasses are supposed to do is selectively block out the wavelengths that overlap, which makes distinguishing certain colours easier but obviously changes their tone. So they by definition make you see FEWER colours, not more, but with potentially more clarity. I find it interesting how this directly contradicts one of the experts interviewed in the preview at the end of this video (18:45), but maybe that is just out of context and she's talking about a different kind of colour blindness.
I have at least 5 friends who have colorblindness. Years ago one of them tried one of these glasses and they said "I would rather not having eyes than wearing these.. whatever they are" They told that to relatives and others but no one really listen to him, some even thought he was being ungrateful. The glasses did bring tear to his eyes... for how it insult him and his trust.

I was in a trial for a company that never took their product to market and I own a pair of color correction sunglasses from a major manufacturer. The technology works. While I did not see new colors, I saw them in a new way. One reason the first company never took them to market is that the model I tried was uhh “aesthetically unpleasing”. It looks great to the wearer, but the film looks really goofy to people looking at them. The sunglasses I bought do not look strange, but the effect is much less. I kept them because 1 - they’re good sunglasses, 2 - they help a little with my color

Yeah, I took the enChroma test and the results were normal (not colorblind), then took Pilestone test (competitor) and got mild deutan color blindness every time, even though I could clearly see the number on every slide without trouble (there is no way I didn't get 100% correct). So I took several more tests from different sites that were not trying to sell me glasses, with several types of different colorblind tests, and all tests came back normal no color blindness.

@@niko7903 For the pilestone test, the first time I took also said I am deutan color blind, but then I found sometimes after you go to the next question it shows the same number but after a second or so it change to another, if I wait a few seconds for each question to make sure I didn't answer before it changes then my result is normal. My guess is if you click too fast before the display updates they will count you as wrong. It is all due to bad programming on their side.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I didn't realize I was colorblind until psychology class in college when I was the only student who couldn't see the hidden number in the test. Fast forward 10 years when my coworker bought $400 enchroma glasses for his dad only to realize his dad isn't colorblind, lol. He let me try them before returning.

I feel like it's easy for people's minds to draw parallels to something like hearing aids, where just sticking a little device in your ear suddenly makes hearing better. When in reality, hearing aids are not a passive filter like these glasses, but rather an active amplifier/filter combination, and nowadays with quite sophisticated DSP built in thats able to be tuned to specific deficiencies amongst other neat features (bluetooth and what-not). And all this to say, if you are completely deaf, no amount of SPL will be able to overcome that. After a point, you're just experiencing vibrations, which is in my mind is equivalent to reading braille for the blind. TL;DR, I could see these glasses being helpful in a more individually tuned and/or dynamically adjusting factor, but severely overblown pink party glasses ain't it chief lol.

Truth. I can't see ultraviolet, like most humans. You can get me a pair of glasses that will let me see it, by filtering the light selectively. Can I see a new color? No. But now I can pass a test that says I can see ultraviolet. Shorter: the glasses work by cheating and changing the color of things to colors you can see, which might help some people, but based on this reporting does not.

The reasoning I know behind this is that for red/green colourblindness the issue is that your red and green cones basically react to the same light hues. If that is fully the case, theres no hope and help. But apart from extreme cases the spectrum they react to doesn't fully overlap, so exteme green and extreme red do not trigger the other cone, but everything in between does. So to reliably distinguish red and green, you need to avoid the in between hues, eg. make reds redder and greens greener. But this does not give new colours, just make you able to distinguish more shades. And that's only if it works at all.

It's not like it's a tiny minority who are affected (amongst males, at least.) Many years ago I read about an American pilot who, knowing he had a colour deficiency, found out what test set was used and then purchased the exact same set and learned it by heart before going to the be tested, but I don't know if that's feasible anymore.

If a person lacks functional cells in the eye that perceive certain colors, how would colored lenses change what one sees? They CANNOT PERCIEVE the color the lenses are so the field of view would not change wearing them. Nothing will change what colors you can't see because there is no infrastructure in the eye to see those colors. It's the same reason we cannot hear a dog whistle. We lack the infrastructure in our ears to hear it so we CANNOT PERCEIVE the sound.

Not all types of colourblindness work that way…
As someone who is red-green colorblind, I own a pair of corrective glasses that can help me distinguish between tones of colors with reds and greens in them. While the glasses cannot make me perceive colors that I have never seen before, they do help me to see a difference in the color without relying on shape recognition. Without the glasses, I can only see the red strawberries that are not partially covered by a leaf. My brain recognizes the shape and "fills in" what I believe to be red. If the berries are partially covered, it's harder to recognize the shape and it just "blends in" with the green of the leaves. However, if I wear the glasses, it makes reds more vivid and greens more distinct, to the point where I can see a difference in the color. But the glasses also affect all colors I can see, and some colors that I really like become dull and unpleasant. For example, a bright red will change to orange for me. However, blue becomes way more intense, which I like. While this doesn't necessarily change my life, it is a way to alter my perception of the world that can sometimes come in handy.

I've had two pairs of Enchroma glasses myself. I am very red/green colorblind. The ads might be fake, but the glasses work great for me. And no, it's not instant. I had to wear them for at least 10 minutes or so the first time to see results. For example, I had never seen violet at all. Didn't know what it looked like. But after I walked around the block a couple times I saw that some flowers I previously thought were just white were violet (I had someone confirm). And lots of things I incorrectly thought were red or green were clearly the correct color when wearing the glasses (again, confirmed by someone with correct color vision). It's a great product imo, so I hate to see it completely discredited or passed off as just "rose tinted" just because of the ads being fake or whatever.
I have an enchroma glasses. Well, still cant see the shapes and numbers in that special book. But i can see more color in real life… i can see purple, i can make different between brown and red, i can see pink for exemple. Its not full scam…
I have normal color vision. Every time I’ve ever taken an independent color vision test, I ace it.

Doing investigative journalism on an obvious scam(it's a partial scam not a full one), without understanding the scam in full and showing it only in it's negative light. Color-blind glasses do work, but they only work for a small subset of individuals, most users will not get the *new colors* experience, anyone that actually does moderate research into color blindness/cures would know that. The glasses DO however fix* some types of color-blindness and can be more noticeable for some individuals, if normal vision means colors are red is a 10, green is a 10, etc, then color blindness means red can be a 1 or 2, and not really be noticeable but there. The glasses having a strong red tint is INTENDED because it helps boost that frequency which helps adjust the colors you see. The SCAM part of Enchrome and color-blind glasses is 2 parts to a 3 part problem. 1. Price, they are massively ovepriced 2. White-Lie/OBFUSCATION of information, the claim that it *cures* color-blindness and curate the adverts/promotions around this without saying unless you read the fine print, which I do believe is on each colorblind glasses brands website but often is overlooked 3. They actually do work but they only work for some, which means they are using the emotional argument and real experiences of people that it does effective massively for their gain. YET, it still WORKS, just not 100% for EVERYONE. This is similar with balding treatments just to name another, but there are many that behave exactly like this. Now, you failed to even perform some accurate tests but rather held glasses up that were intended to be tinted heavily at a camera that absorbs normal light, to an audience that sees normal light. How people don't realize how fucking stupid that is I cannot fathom. You are just asking if NORMAL vision inviduals can see RED, YES, WE CAN. This is not the only instance of utterly stupid comparisons. Now the reason I am truly outraged about this video, you dragged one of my favorite youtubers through the mud, 2hearts1seoul. You were strangely obsessed with showing off this smaller youtuber who does weekly*(this will come up later), wholesome vlogs instead of doing your grift on the more obvious scammer Logan fucking Paul who has years of precedent being a fucking scammer. I've watched 2hearts for years and they've talked about their color blindness on several occasions years before enchroma became a thing. Sarah, is a very honest and loveable person, and while not being naive, she will let her heart take over. The reason why the video had their affiliate link ready at the end was INCREDIBLY simple. It was recorded in one day as B footage in case they did sign up, because they wanted to keep the same aesthetic for the whole video and they were flying out the next day because they were currently abroad. I watch every single one of their videos, they record hours and hours of B roll footage, Sarah is VERY picky about the aesthetic of her videos and will always strive to make it feel congruent and flow well. She is a HYPER planner, which is also shown in all her actions in how she takes care of her family, her pet, and her lifestyle. I am telling you, this is so obvious it's mindblowing why someone would drag them through the mud, to the point where it is DISGUSTING. Two. Kyuho has never changed his persona, he is very easy to read for anyone that watches their videos on the regular. He is very simple. He can't fake anything.

I was there when it was released, there was no comment being deleted, no negative comments saying it was fake, the like ratio was incredible. This also goes into their NEWER videos that debunk your debauchery you call a video. You can read positive comments about people that LOVE these two, and I do mean LOVE, for days on both of the videos where there should be MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS. THERE is NOT ONE negative comment that I've seen that has gone above the ranks of the thousands of positive comments for these two. I was curious and continued to scroll both of their newest videos and it was NOTHING but love, and I do mean NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THEM. This should be so incredibly telling for the casual individual. They have a 100% ratio of people that love these two. WAKE UP. THE COMMENTS GO FOR MILES GO CHECK FOR YOURSELF!! Now I'm going to help you out and assume this was a human error on your part, you got fixated on one person because you likely only got correspondence back from them, and your own brain rot got fixated on one that one issue so you thought you had a *story*. Viewers of this video need to beware of falling for another *scam* hype video. Utterly atrocious behavior.

Listen to this mind-bending fact! Everyone perceives colors differently. There’s no way to know if what you see as blue is the same as what someone else sees. Imagine if they were taught that the color they are seeing (blue) is red, so for them, blue is always red. And maybe for you, green is actually red because that’s what you were taught. Now, imagine if these two people are shown a color: you see green, but they see blue. So, green for you is red, and blue for them is red, and you both agree that it is red. 🤯

I'm a female with slight colorblindness. I learned when we did a color test in beauty school and i was the only one with different answers.

@Yensnipest they tread the line... using facts out of context can be very successful in marketing( see Apples recent 99% customer satisfaction") with a large part of average society. FDA approved "they will change the way you see colours" is absolutely true(as would a pair of cheap sunglasses) but it will fix the lack of cones able to see certain colours is BS but the quote on the website will do the job.
Glasses can never fix the absense of the receptors in our eyes.

Or the crossed wires in your optical nerve, or any problems in the color vision processing center in your brain. I have the same type of colorblindness as the uploader by the way. At least, as far as I can tell from what he said.

Not absence (for most people), simply an overlap in sensitivity

It's like trying to sell headphones that allow deaf people to hear. **edit** Guys. The point is that changing input doesn't fix anything if the mechanism for sensing it is broken or missing. It's not meant to be a 1-1 analogy.

I could imagine something like this being useful to *distinguish* colours you otherwise can't, and thus pass the coloured dot tests. That doesn't mean you will see colours accurately.
It’s a cheap color filter. You can’t add spectrum sensation when a person doesn’t have the capability. If that were the case you could have a passive UV or IR lens that would allow humans to see those frequencies.
I asked a eye surgeon who also did research on eye health about the colorblind glasses. He had a set of the real, prescription, high priced glasses. They looked slightly blue. With my normal, but perhaps somewhat trained eyes, I noticed that light yellow and light grey were less distinct, if not indistinguishable. Other than that they made no real difference. He explained that yellow is actually where both the red and green cones are firing about as much. Some people with red-green colorblindness have a little too much overlap in the sensitivity of their red and green receptors. For these people, removing some of the yellow wavelengths greatly improves their perception of red and green, at the cost of some yellow-white perception. They don't work for everyone because some people either have too much overlap or one set of receptors really doesn't work well at all. Basically not all red-green colorblindness is the same.

It sounds like these types of glasses can help a very small percentage of people. But, the market is too small to be financially viable, so they market/hype them to all sorts of "specific colorblindness" with grandiose promises and claims.

Unfortunately that means the glasses "fix" colourblindness by making you colourblind in another way, which is definitely not as advertised.
Hi, I am tritanopia type color blind and husband got me correcting glasses (not the brand you mentioned here). It shifted the hues so that green and blue looked completely different, or pink and yellow (colors I can’t distinguish next to each other). It basically made blues intense and the greens stayed subtle, so it made me see the difference BUT I didn’t suddenly see colors. I’m not sure if it makes sense. It was underwhelming and a waste of 80$, but I use them sometimes if I need to for work.

I believed them for a bit, until I realized: “How can a pair of glasses make your eyes perceive colors that they physically cannot? They can’t function like regular glasses, that help people with near/far-sightedness, which- if I understand it right- essentially act to ‘de-blur’ vision; they’d have to be different. Besides, what colors your eyes can see is based on the number of cones (light receptors) in your eyes themselves.” A quick google is *occasionally* better- or truer- than what others are telling you, but still; go to a doctor.
