76 years old sees color for the first time!! -

My Father-In-Law is Red-Green Colorblind. When we found EnChroma, his family wanted to give him the gift of color. This is his first reaction.

[@royzevisionneur2045]

J Lawrence do the glasses really allow to see the 3 primary colors or do it only allow to make a difference between them?

[@odd-stopworkshop6253]

From the way he is describing the experience, I suspect he is truly seeing primary colors. For example, stop signs are not brown anymore and highway signs are green rather than gray. At one point in the video he mentions that the gray shirt is what green used to be for him. Rose bushes have been a big deal, he can now see the colors of the flowers and they no longer blend in with the leaves.

[@magicstix0r]

About half the people who are colorblind don't completely lose the cones that sense the colors they're blind to. The glasses change the light spectrum by damping down the other colors and enhancing the ones in their blind range. The brain takes over and rebalances its processing of the spectrum, but now since all the color signals are correct, the person sees color properly.

[@MrDBarch]

The way that NON color blind people describe color blindness is almost always wrong. We, in the colorblind world, MOSTLY SEE colour, we don't see in just greyscale. our problem IS that we have no way of defining colours, the makeup of course, what shades they are and HOW to identify them as being grey or green, black or grey, red or orange, blue or purple, green and yellow.... all the SHADES and variations, and how they mix them to get something identifiable as this or that. WE can't DO that, but we do NOT see just greyscale, THAT'S very, very rare. Colour blindness in men, mostly men, is the result of having either missing cones, or weak cone receptors. As this man in the video says green and grey are the same thing. to me as well. I can't see the difference in shaes that are similar tonally. I can SEE them, but I cannot identify them, or know HOW to mix primary colors in order to make up what we see.

"I don't believe anything I see." This is actually an incredibly fascinating insight form the gentleman, for as simple a statement it is.

[@stephanginther9051]

Very true, a unique and apt way to think about it. Now I have normal color vision, but my father has what is called tetrachromacy. Basically in stead of 3 color cones like you and me, he was born with 4. Basically people with 4 cones see shades of color far better then you or me. Two color pallets identical to us are obviously different to them. It kind of give you a picture of what it would be like to be color blind when, in a sense we are compared to a person with tetrachromacy.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

@@stephanginther9051 Isn't that extremely rare for a man? I heard it's rare but that women have it much more than men. I wonder what a Monet painting looks like with that type of vision.

[@stephanginther9051]

@@jimmyfortrue3741 Yes it is, actually its pretty interesting. All good genetic dispositions related to color eyesight are more common in women, and all bad are more common in men. Women typically have better color vision then men just in general. Also if either parent has the color blindness gene a male child can get it, but a girl can only get it if both parents have the gene. Also I sometimes wonder what things look like to him too, I have normal color vision.

[@daisydd1709]

@@stephanginther9051 oh fascinating! i now want tetrachromacy glasses

[@stephanginther9051]

@@jimmyfortrue3741 Yes (sorry it took me so long to reply) Basically, women have better eyes than men in general. _good_ genetics for eyes, such as abnormally good vision, tetrachromacy and whatnot are waaaay more common in women than men, conversely *bad* genetics for the eyes are significantly more common in men that women. For example, a man can be born color blind if either parent has the gene, but a woman can only be born color blind if *both* parents have the gene.

[@scorpia6460]

As a colourblind person, Wen I saw colours first time, I thot the glasses were broken or smth. I LOVED orange before because I hardly ever got that colour wrongly but after wearing it, orange was ugly and red seemed pink. I finally understood why people sad red looked like pink. And also, the worst part... people looked so BLAND. Like I saw why people were multicoloured. Everybody used to look kinda green.

[@selinaoakley3613]

Kinda green 😅😅😅😂😂💚 that's great!

[@Briselance]

So you indeed saw little green men, after all. :-P

[@irishraven18]

@ I assure you, now 3.5 years later, he absolutely CAN see colors he never saw before. No we didn't make him take a color blind test, because this was a surprise. And we've witnessed him not seeing red or green our entire lives, there was no question he was colorblind. And we have piles of hunting and shooting glasses, none of them ever had an even remotely similar result as Enchroma.

[@telchacsusan]

where did you get that cool garden sculpture??

[@odd-stopworkshop6253]

That was a gift to my mother-in-law, she'll be very pleased you noticed. We found it at a local store where we live - lots of local craftsmen stuff. But you can probably find a retailer by googling "Wind Spinner".

Id encourage other people thinking about doing something similar for their own colorblind family member to take more care to not ask so many questions that serve only to verify what's going on to you and your fellow observers. This has to be a really emotional moment for people wearing it for the first time, they probably aren't ready to be so emotionally vulnerable around their entire family and probably feel a little embarrassed. Not to disrespect the people in this video!
