A pair of brothers with color blindness, Jimmy and Jess, recently received a special gift from their parents, a pair of glasses from EnChroma. After Jimmy put on his glasses, his father brought in a few colorful balloons and carefully asked him what color he was. "This... is this orange?" Jimmy replied. Dad said, "This color is called green."
Then his brother Jess put on the glasses, he was silent first, then he couldn't suppress the emotions and cried, then excitedly hugged his brother. He said, "The world is bright and bright."
We also saw another video on Facebook, shooting different people, all of them are suffering from color blindness, and they have different performances after taking EnChroma glasses - a cute little girl exults excited, a young man The voice was exclaimed. A middle-aged man asked the wife what he saw with a hesitant and hesitant tone. An elderly teacher was very popular.
This makes us feel that technology has brought happiness and joy to human beings, adding bright and saturated colors to life.
EnChroma is a US company that provides solutions for people with color blindness. The main product is this color-correcting glasses for the most common red-green blind patients (according to statistics, every 12 men and 200 women One person has red-green blindness). This pair of glasses looks like ordinary sunglasses at first glance, but its lenses have a filtering system that corrects the saturation of different colors, allowing color-blind people wearing glasses to see and recognize colors.
The principle of this is that most people have three color-sensing areas in their eyes: red green and blue, each of which can absorb light of different wavelengths, and the absorption range overlaps. Color blindness is usually caused by the fact that one of the color sensing regions is "dysfunctional", so that the overlapping portion of the light wave absorption range and other regions are too large, resulting in a decrease in color resolution. EnChroma's filtration system removes the wavelengths of those overlapping parts, helping the wearer to improve the resolution of color, especially red and green.
The invention was mainly attributed to Dr. Don McPherson, the company's chief scientific officer. He had hoped to design a pair of glasses that would protect the doctor from reducing laser damage during surgery, but in a chance game, a color blind friend wore the glasses, and the friend was shocked that he could see different colors. Dr. McPherson also discovered the true value of this glasses. However, the early glasses function was not perfect, so McPherson brought his friends, mathematics and computer expert Andrew Schmeder to study together, the two established EnChroma in 2010, the latter is now CEO.
EnChroma glasses have a variety of appearances
Nowadays, this color-correcting glasses has been officially released and is available worldwide. The price of children is 269 US dollars, and the adult price is 349 US dollars. But the point that needs to be reminded is also what EnChroma emphasizes: this eyeglass is not a cure for color blindness. Just as reading glasses can't cure hyperopia, it can only help them distinguish colors when they are wearing them. If you want to truly cure color blindness, you need to use genetic surgery to deliver normal function genes into color-sensing cells in the human retina. Jay Neitz, a professor at the University of Washington in the United States, demonstrated that this idea was practical in a 2009 experiment with monkeys, and in 2015 he began working with biotech company Avalanche Biotechnologies to conduct clinical trials of the technology.
In addition, can users wearing glasses be able to do some work that can't be done by color blind patients in the past, such as driving, steering, etc? EnChroma does not recommend this approach and has not made a similar guarantee.
But in summary, if you suffer from color blindness and feel inconvenience and trouble in your daily life, then this product can really solve your urgent needs and add color to your life. After all, everyone wants to see the rainbow and appreciate the beauty of the world.
