I never take that claim on products very seriously.

@chrismccurrin9534

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 a colourblind guy myself I can say they are very creative with their marketing but I do have a set of enchroma glasses myself and they make a difference. It’s not fixing colours it’s impossible, but they do shift colours to allow me to see the ones I’m missing. I have strong protanopia (green cones in my eyes are too strong and red are too weak) which means reds look very dark and sometimes brown, greens are overpowering and make yellows and oranges look the green and some purples, pinks and blues look the same. Wearing these glasses It shifts everything to look more red. It makes colours more vibrant but not accurate at all. They also only really work in bright situations and take a couple of minuets for your eyes to adjust when you put them on. They don’t make you able to pass a colourblind test and are definitely not a fix but they are an interesting experience.

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

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 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. Lower expectations, be real on what they do and charge less - I bet it still would have succeeded just slower and less extreme

yeah, the produce does 'work' but not in the way they describe it. color correcting glasses is like the added sugar in lemonade. it helps bring out the flavor of the lemon and masking the natural unwanted bitterness of some lemons. just as the glasses helps remove the overlapping wavelength for the certain color cones, letting people distinguish what is already present. but the marketing is saying it lets people see colors that weren't present before. its like saying adding sugar to lemon juice makes it grape juice. i do think encroma and other companies are liable for flagrant false advertisement but not so much as a being complete scam.

You're exactly right. I have a friend that is a full time animator. He would struggle at times having to ask co-workers "is this supposed to be green or yellow? I can't tell." And if it's digital, he would have to use the eye dropper tool to find the hex value, then google that hex value to find the name of the color associated with it. Since he has had the EnChromas glasses, he no longer has to do any of that. Sure, he may not be seeing everything perfectly, but he is able to create his art much more easily than he did before. He always has them on while he's working now.

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.

When I tried to get into the army reserves they gave us a color blind test. The guy asked me "are you color blind?". I said "I don't think so". Then he replied "yes you are".😂😂😂

@@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*

Thing is, they are meant to show you what the colour you see weaker, for what they really are. I'm also deutan colourblind and have the pilestone's. Of course colours will get wonky with a magenta, pinkish tint, but the colours I had trouble with, namely: light pinks seem grey, purple is hard to differenciate from blue, red is muted, green doesn't have many hues, yellow and green look alike, these colours bacame new colours I haven't seen before. What I always thought was red, turned out to be brown (watching star wars again with these was awesome), yellow is a comepletely new colour (wow so warm, cozy), trees have so much more depth to their leaves, I see a much deeper green on some trees that I had never seen in nature! They do say on the website that it doesn't work for everyone though. If it does work, it's awesome :) I don't wear mine often, since like most people with colourblindness, we're not too bothered by it. The staged emotional stuff is wack. A genuine reaction is more like yours, like "huh, so this is how it looks? Ok lol"

I swear, the internet's going to be a 100 years old and people are still going to believe anything they see on it...

They're supposed to work outdoors in the uv light. Colors are more vivid when I use these glasses. I always assumed the reaction videos were fake because it took my eyes about 15 minutes to adjust, after the first time it was pretty instant. I'm not sure what I see when I use the enchroma glasses but again colors did pop out more vividly. When my wife looks at the images that show what colorblind people see she says my view looks sun washed among the loss of colors. The glasses I guess take away the sun washed view.

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.

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.

The colorblindness occurs due to a defect in cones. A pair of glasses could never fix that.

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.

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.

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.

If there isn’t already, There should be a special classification of fraud that goes after medical diseases and people’s desperations. But then I guess most pharmaceutical companies would get caught in the crossfire too.

I think the best these glasses could do would be to make you able to discern similiar colors better at best. Like Reds and Greens look the same to you? Well with a magenta tint it accents the reds and dilutes the greens so you can diffentiate between them. You can't see the colors, you can just tell them apart. But as it seems, that comes at the cost of not being able to see different shades of similar colors.

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.

When I was tested for color blindness in the Navy I was told it was not a matter of not matter of not being able to see red/green but sometimes differntiating the shades of red/green and the depth perception

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.

Green traffic likes look green, so it's reprogramed my brain to see them as more green instead of off-white.

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.

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.

@@yoeyyoey8937 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 think something that I quickly learned after buying myself a pair of these glasses was it gives the illiusion of what people actually see. It's never helped me see new color. I still struggle with purple pink and blue's even with the glasses on, but it was eye opening how bright red was to people. Overall I think the world looks better through the glasses, but I really can only use them as sunglasses due to how dim it makes everything else look

That's actually a bad point the author makes here. People who are colorblind are 100% able to learn their colors, even though they may mistake certain shades at times. This is even evidenced by the fact that the author himself did not learn about his colorblindness until he was 21 years old. If he hadn't learned his colors in all that time, that would have certainly stood out and would have alerted himself and others that something was wrong. But his colorblindness went unnoticed. In my case, my colorblindness is so prevalent that it was first noticed by when I was four years old, precisely because I was a precocious child and learning my colors was the one area where I was bizarrely struggling. Within a year the fact that I was colorblind was undeniable, and by the time it was formally diagnosed at 6 years old, it was a formality. So all in all, my colorblindness is considerably more severe than his. Now, I did struggle to learn my colors, and it wasn't until I was 10 when I could really say I knew my fundamental colors. But I did eventually learn them. It took extra time because I needed to have thousands of mistakes be corrected by other people in order to eventually zero in on what the fundamental colors were supposed to be. Eventually I developed an understanding of what blue is, as compared to purple (for example). There's plenty of times when something blue may look purple to me (or vice versa), but I still understand what each is supposed to look like. In fact, I'm now so proficient at understanding how my colorblindness affects my vision that 80% of the time I will know that what I'm seeing is wrong, even without anyone having to correct me. I can *see* blue and already know that the object is actually purple.

I have had so many people try to "open my eyes" to the glasses. I don't make a big deal out of my color deficiency, but most people that know me are well aware of it. It is such a facination for people who have normal color vision for some reason. But, every time someone has mentioned these glasses, I have always told them that they might make reds/greens more vibrant, they are going to mute blues, yellows or other colors, because that is just how light works. You can't change 1 color without altering all colors. There is never going to be a passive effect glasses that will ever correct any form of color blindness. The only way this will ever be possible is to have some type of active effect glasses that utilize a camera that you are viewing the environment through. This would use software to enhance the colors that a CVD struggles with, while leaving others alone. The lens themselves would have some type of embedded screen in them that you would actually view the world through. And, the software would have to be specifically calibrated for each individual. So, glasses that work for me, would likely not work for any other person.

I bet those companies are working like crazy to try to get this video removed. Especially in the thick of the holiday shopping season. Ouch. Wonderful, eye opening look at this scam!

@@RochRich. 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 was always told it only worked for certain colorblind styles but never did anyone ever convince me with the science behind any of it

When I saw that each video had people crying, I knew something was off. Because it would mean something like "now this is 10x better" but those people have had their own colors all their life, they wouldn't think "this is better" and certainly not start crying. Reaction would be more like "oh so those are the colors that you see??" or it could even be "that's ugly!!". But no, it's all "no comment + cries".

I also had a colour centric job despite being colour blind. Colour separation for making printing plates - I had to hide the fact that I was colour blind from my boss for years. Made a few slips in meetings like "for the green part we can..." "Green? There's no green. Do mean the orange?" "Ah yes, slip of the tongue, the orange part" But when working on the computer I knew what colour things were by using the dropper and looking at the colour wheel.

I will always trust my spectrophotometer before I trust my eyes. I was pumped when I got the glasses, thinking I could use them at work (also in printing), but while they're really pleasant to pump up colors out in the sunlight, they're about as useful as wearing sunglasses at night if you're indoors. Great as recreational sunglasses, but by no means a cure for colorblindness, especially when color accuracy counts!!

@GeeorgieBoy If you guys haven't seen "Ed Wood" yet, it's a must-see, and not just for the color-blindness gag.

Every time I see a "wholesome" story on social media, I get suspicious... and it often shows, rightfully so.

As if people would react that way just because they see more colors, ridiculous. Quite color blind myself but I see enough colors. I certainly wouldn't react that way just cause a saw a few more shades of colors. Obviously color blindness doesn't mean you don't see colors, usually just means you see fewer colors. So big deal unless you work with photo/video editing or something. I used to play world of tanks and the red silhouettes of enemy tanks were kinda hard to see. Used to think it was strange how my dad used to say red objects were easy to spot in a green field.

"That was a huge blue flag for me." 😂😂😂😂 EPIC!!!!

So the very first ad on this video started with the lyrics, "and I see your true colors shining" which obviosly has to do with the video's title but also made me grin
