Family surprises colorblind dad with color vision glasses
Have you ever thought about how hard it would be to explain to someone who’s colorblind what the color red looks like? It’s something that most of us take for granted, but approximately 4.5% of the entire population is colorblind.
The term colorblind generally doesn’t mean people can’t see colors - 99% of the time people experience a color deficiency, not complete blindness. However, there are some extreme cases where people can’t see any color whatsoever.
Like a 1920s movie, this father has lived his whole life only being able to see black and white, but what his family does for him is truly incredible.
Just a heads up, you may want to grab a box of tissues before you start watching because this video will hit you right in the feels. …show more content…
Approximately one in 12 men will experience colorblindness, compared to one in 200 women. Men are more susceptible to colorblindness due to the fact that the most common form of colorblindness comes from a deficiency on the X sex chromosome.
While there are certainly worse things in the world than being colorblind, it can actually affect one’s life more than you might think. Those who are colorblind are restricted to what types of jobs they can get. Certain occupations such as police officers, firefighters, and pilots all must have normal color vision.
There has been no treatment for colorblindness…until now. Sort of.
EnChroma glasses
The gift the man receives in this video is a pair of EnChroma glasses. Although these glasses can’t technically cure colorblindness, they can allow people to see a regular color spectrum.
EnChroma, Inc. was first established in 2010 by Andrew Schmeder and Don McPherson. It took both Schmeder and McPherson almost 10 years to create an effective yet desirable consumer product, which used the latest advancements in color perception
