WATCH PART 2:

A company claiming to cure colorblindness by selling literal rose-tinted glasses is just too perfect

"...and that was a huge blue flag for me"

Those scammers are getting

FDA approval for glasses just means the manufacturer has had them tested to make sure they don't shatter when dropped.

So this is awkward. I found this video looking for reviews on these glasses so that I could buy a pair as a Christmas present for a family member. Thank you for saving me the money. This is shocking!

My girlfriend surprised me with these glasses, and after putting them on I got pretty emotional. I have monochromacy so they didn't do anything, but after looking at the price I just couldn't hold back the tears. 300 frickin dollars... Why!! 😭

As a colourblind guy myself I can say they are very creative with their marketing but I do have a set of enchroma glasses myself and they make a difference. It’s not fixing colours it’s impossible, but they do shift colours to allow me to see the ones I’m missing. I have strong protanopia (green cones in my eyes are too strong and red are too weak) which means reds look very dark and sometimes brown, greens are overpowering and make yellows and oranges look the green and some purples, pinks and blues look the same. Wearing these glasses It shifts everything to look more red. It makes colours more vibrant but not accurate at all. They also only really work in bright situations and take a couple of minuets for your eyes to adjust when you put them on. They don’t make you able to pass a colourblind test and are definitely not a fix but they are an interesting experience.

Even in middle school I knew this smelled fishy but no one ever came out & disproved it & after many videos of people trying them on I just accepted it. 10 years later this video is very cathartic.

What is particularly gross is how some people manipulated their own children into being ponzies for these fake products.

This is super depressing but I can't help myself from laughing at the irony that there's a common saying everyone knows about looking through rose tinted glasses and that is exactly what they're selling. Rose tinted glasses

My parents bought these glasses for my younger brother when he was in his late teens (about 8 years ago). My brother has always wanted to see a full rainbow, he can only ever see 2 or 3 colours, and thought this would be his chance. Of course they didn't work. We were all devastated.

Back when i was a kid i wore blue tinted glasses as a "sensory stimulant reducer" for autism, i wore them so much that my eyes just adapted to it and saw through the blue. Im not sure if it affected my vision at all but it diddnt help my emotions much.

My dad was red/green colour blind. He died around 5 years ago. One regret I had was that I never bought these colour-blind glasses for him to try, as it was something I was aware of, but never got around to. The regret has come to me several times over the years since his passing.

I think it’s weird that enchroma tells you to give it a few weeks for your eyes to adjust to the glasses but all the videos and even enchroma’s advertisements have an instant reaction from the participants

“a huge blue flag for me” brilliant

Thank you for making this video. You're not only exposing these companies for their scams, but you're also helping make it known that online product reviews aren't always honest and can easily be fabricated or manipulated to trick and mislead the public.

I'm grateful that my science teacher in high school told me that it's my missing cone inside my eyes that causes me not see color correctly. So no matter what color layer put in front of me, my eyes can't process it, therefore no fancy glasses can fix it.

"That was a huge blue flag for me". That was a great and probably mostly unnoticed joke.

I came here for the debunking, but the sheer insanity of the "guy works with colour, finds out he has colour blindness, says 'eh whatever', finds a workaround, continues to work with colour" left me questioning my life choices
