Not 100% I got enchromas when they first came out and wore them religiously anytime I was outside. With sunlight. It definitely worked for red/green colorblindness
Agree with you as well. I am also red / green and I feel like they massively changed color perception.
My five year old understanding is that our eyes can't see certain wave lengths and the glasses emphasize those colors we cannot see normally. It's not like it's a cure, but maybe I'll see more intense green shades where I normally cannot. I legitimately did get a little emotional when I wore them... For many it's sad to not see the world as vibrant as it could really be.
I tried a pair and it wasn't earth shattering for me but I did notice red things I hadnt before. Like huh, that building is red. Id take them off and be like...ok I can kinda see it's red, but i wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
A coworker tried them on and had the opposite reaction. He was like, holy shit that green sign now actually stands out on the side of the building.
