With the Chromagen glasses you had to go to an specialist place and get your eyes tested with a variety of glasses to see which combination was the best for your type of colorblindness. Luckily for me both glasses were the same colors (pink, which even if I can't see it properly, I would prefer if they were another color).
Some interesting things since I had the glasses:
- The first time I saw red trough the glasses was surreal: coca-cola, a tomato, carrots, etc. Was a very emotional moment because you realize how much info is missing in your sight.
- As much as I got excited when wearing them I got depressed when taking them out. The world is excessively green to me which once I saw the world with red in it, a green world is incredibly boring.
- While I tried to make them as fashionable as possible (had the glasses on an Oakley frame (hey it was 10 years ago) I don't think they look to good.
- They were not really sunglasses per se, so I would wear them and still be bothered with the sun which this new ones seem to have figure out.
I will sure give this ones a try. They look good, seem to be fashionable enough and the price is accesible.
Just need to figure out the emotional aspect of it as is really something. I wonder is there's a correlation between mood with colors and colorblind people that can't see red being generally grumpier.
P.S: talk about resting on your laurels. Chromagen always had a marketing issue in my opinion and this is just surreal:
According to the site test I'm profiled as Strong Protan. No glasses are available to fully fix my colorblindness, since are only are available for medium protans.
A few years back I purchased for over 700 euros a pair of Chromagen glasses that promised to do the same.
