Do colour blind glasses work?

from The Lab DoctoRs Hosted by The Lab DoctoRs

Have you ever wondered whether the colour or shade that you see is the same as what the people around you see? In this episode, we talk about the colour of objects, how humans see colour, and the different types of colour blindness. Finally, we go through the technology behind colour blind glasses and whether they actually work. TLDR: Currently available EnChroma glasses are designed to address only certain forms of red-green colour blindness (specifically deuteranomaly and protanomaly) Links: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0pV1gobG58vZIdkzangvYd?si=o00f6QaAQ6S0DRnID9tKBQ https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-we-see-color-colm-kelleher https://www.healthline.com/health/color-blindness https://www.healthline.com/health/eye-health/what-do-colorblind-people-see https://enchroma.com/pages/how-enchroma-glasses-work Socials: instagram.com/thelabdoctors twitter.com/thelabdoctors Credit for theme music: Fresh Time by Roa https://soundcloud.com/roa_music1031 Email: [email protected]
