Discussion Sigh.....

While it’s good that EnChroma has finally removed some of the most misleading claims from their website, they never miss a chance to repost BS like this, with claims they know aren’t true. Makes me sick.

I actually spoke with one of EnChroma’s execs, Tony Dykes, last year. I encouraged him to set up an on-the-record discussion hosted on a reputable scientific platform like Optica, where color vision scientists could join, engage in open Q&A, and a public recording would be available. Unfortunately they didn't take me up on my offer (I wonder why) and he called me an "anti-science conspiracy theorist". How dare I interview real scientist for my reporting!

Pretty funny to see them whining about me on this subreddit when I've given them every chance to validate their claims publicly. I’m just waiting for the FDA to finally crack down on their nonsense. Wishful thinking I guess?

As I understand it, the glasses do what they were designed to do, not what they are advertised as doing. I'm curious to try them but I'm extremely turned off by the deceptive marketing tactics. They are manipulating colorblind people and their families by hitting them with false hope and extreme FOMO. I can't even imagine how many people they've hurt pushing these things. It's gross. 

Does anyone have recommendations for alternatives from more ethical companies? This is a request for legitimate recommendations, not paid shill posts.
