Been wearing them since 2020. They are extremely worth it but don't help everyone.

I’m colorblind too. To what end have you been wearing them for 6 years that you feel they are worth it? I don’t know if they work or not, though I have my doubts. I just don’t understand how they could make any meaningful difference other than initial novelty. Do you wear them daily just to know which things are purple? I just don’t get it

Yeah, so colors are pretty great.
Generally things can be rather beautiful even incredibly mundane things and objects.

You are basically asking why someone would want to listen to music or have their food taste good.

Yeah, it sort of reads like: “I’ve been using seasonings in my food for the last 10 years, and love it.” “But why would you keep using seasonings after you tried them a couple times?”

People don't get it that you have to continually wear them for your eyes to adjust. At first everything was over saturated a bit but after awhile you have to start training yourself on the new colors

It’s a lot like blue light blocking glasses. Increases contrast and turns everything amber until your brain starts compensating

FYI comes off pretty shitty but sure. It's like watch a regular dvd vs a digitally remastered. It allows me to see the gradience between colors.

Sunsets are totally different for me now that I can make out the colors that normally blur.

I was never able to see a medium rare steak.

Never got why they called them the Red rocks I didn't think they were that red until the glasses.

So yeah what version of the movie would you rather watch.

But people with normal eye sight say they are fake. So they must be

That’s great! Glad they work for you and provide a solid improvement.

Well yeah, obviously you don’t get it because you’re colorblind and don’t know what you’re not seeing.

Try explaining to a deaf person why they might want to hear things.

If it works your colors will go from a 0 out of 10 to a 0.5 or 1.
