Colorblind?


Can you imagine being colorblind? Many people struggle everyday, seeing colors. For example, many people who are colorblind can not see the color on the  traffic light so many people just go if they think the road looks clear, this causes many accidents. There is no cure, but the company EnChroma has created glasses that help people see the colors more vividly. Colorblindness does not mean you can't see any colors, it just means some colors blend and look duller than others.
These glasses help people who absorb too much green light, see certain colors more clearly. They can also help people whose eyes did not absorb enough green light. Seeing too much or too little green changes they way you see all the colors. These glasses may not completely allow you to see all the different shades of each color, but at least allow to see the difference between some colors and shades of colors. These glasses help by shielding your eyes from the part of the spectrum where red and green overlap the most. These glasses even help people who aren't colorblind by just making it look different.
I found this story interesting because this is a new way for people who are color blind see their lives. These glasses could lead to a cure eventually. Since they have discovered how to create these glasses, maybe someday they will be able to figure out a way to do something to someone's eyes. I think these glasses could be a step into our future.
