I just realized how blessed we are to be able to see colors. It broke my heart to see their reaction, not knowing what color is. I'm so happy for all of them.

Things I've learned watching these Enchroma videos: 1. No one ever buys these glasses for themselves.

The ones with the older people always get me the hardest. They had to go their whole lives without seeing the beauty of color. Then one day, their whole lives change. It’s bittersweet. ❤

I really feel for the elderly men who sees colors for the very first time - live a hole life almost colorless and then be able to see colors - hope they live many many years and can see the beautiful colors around them

I can’t even imagine how emotional this must be. “All my life, this is what it was supposed to look like?” Id be rethinking everything I’ve ever seen

UPDATING TO REMOVE THE TYPE OF COLOR BLINDNESS I HAVE. AS SOMEONE POINTED OUT, IT CANNOT BE RED/GREEN AS THAT IS THE ABSENCE OF COLOR AND THAT IS NOT WHAT I HAVE. I cried when I put my Enchroma glasses on the first time too. It took about 30 secs for my eyes to adjust to the new colors but when it came in I was shocked! I seen dimension in trees for the first time. Trees in so many shades of green that I had never seen before and I could finally see distance. Enchroma glasses are truly remarkable for a color blind person. Edit to answer questions: - I am partially colorblind. I have issues primarily with green and some small deficiency with blue. - I am female which is more rare than male. My brother is also partially color blind with the same colors. - I can only speak for myself but I know the difference (mostly) between green and all the other colors but its hue and shading that I have issues with. For example if similar greens are all laid out together I probably couldn't tell them apart unless one was dark and the other light. - I would only recommend these glasses as a gift if that person has confirmed they are color blind and which type of lenses they need. My husband bought these for me after I confirmed my deficiency type at an eye clinic. There are multiple color blind tests online you can take to see if you are color blind as well but I would suggest seeing an eye doctor to confirm before ordering - What happens to me when I wear my glasses outside is for the first half a minute nothing and then pretty quickly I start to see different shades of green and I can tell which trees are in front and which are behind so its a depth thing for me. Living in MN, I didnt know what I was missing until I got these because I see all new colors of greens that I didnt before. For example, when I sit on my deck I can see many lines of trees in our neighborhood but they all sort of look like they are equal distance , blending together, etc. Maybe a few different colors. When I put them on I can see dozens of different shades of green. Its slightly similar with blue but not nearly to the extent. I know this is called red/green deficiency but I dont seem to have much of an issue with red. - some other colors are now very vibrant to me - I think the rarest type of color blindness is where they only see greyscale so no color at all. That is NOT what I have though. I suspect they see shading of some sort. I would guess these people need to learn which color is which is they see no color at all but again, I dont really know how that works.

Don't we take our sight and the colours of the world for granted? It's heart warming to see these folks see all colours for the first time.

So many things we take for granted in our lives. These people seeing color for the first time is so heartwarming.

When they guy said "The world actually looks like this?" I felt I've taken the world for granted Let's not forget we're so blessed for seeing colors as they are

GASP!! Dude I just thought of something I hadn’t thought of before! If you get these glasses to need to go back and watch all your favorite movies and cartoons again! See it all in glorious colors!!

My color blind uncle passed away a few years before we found out about these glasses. I wish we could have had something like this for him. He would have absolutely loved it. My grandmother would have been so happy for him too.

If only they weren’t staged I wouldn’t consider this fraud.

The little boy with the gray hoodie and camo shorts is so adorable. He was so happy and very appreciative. So sweet.

I wish these were around when my dad was alive . Black,white,and grays is all my dad could see..green and red were the same to him . Sunday morning before church was always different . He had to ask us what color they were to match his socks,pants and shirt . Funny thing was dad was a good painter. He did not know what color it was but he could tell the difference between the wet paint and dry paint. Miss ya dad. These made me cry .

I had no idea color blindness was such a handicap. It made me cry to see how emotional their experience was. I will have to inquire if anyone I know is color blind so I can give them these glasses as a gift.

I reacted like this when I was 8. Except my glasses were regular glasses. I was stunned that I could see each individual leaf in a tree, every small rock in gravel, strands of hair etc. I thought everyone saw the same blurry world I saw, but then I realized that I had been missing something big. I'll never forget that day. So in a way I can identify with these people. (I do have perfect color vision, thank God. Colorblindness does run in my family. Also total blindness)

"holy crapadoodle" this child needs to be protected

The one sentence that always touches my heart - was once a young man said. “This is how you see all the time!” That one line touched me so much. How often I take the glorious colors I see so for granted..

The kid asking if he can wear them to school and wear them forever broke me. I’m a rough man, but that made me cry, I’m tearing up and can’t stop! God dang it!

As an artist; I cannot IMGINE my life without color. I had a co-worker in an electronics plant who was bent on being an electrician like his father. It was actually then when he began to discover that he couldn't tell the difference in the wires and parts. He was heartbroken. I really HOPE he got a pair of these, he surely had the drive and IQ.

The people who invented these glasses deserve every bit of greatness that can come, awesome

I AM SO HAPPY FOR THAT YOUNG BOY AND HIS MOM !!!

The joy and wonder from each person made me so grateful for being born seeing color. I am so glad that these glasses were created to improve people's lives.

I love how in most of these vids, the ppl gifting the glasses are purposefully wearing bright colors(like the balloons) to give the wearer something to see instantly 😭❤

Seeing the kids get to see colors for the first time literally makes my heart complete.

Based on what the lady said about the sunset, I just asked my wife to buy these for Father’s Day. For all the haters replying to this. Color blindness muddles all the colors. Imagine seeing trees and grass as the same shade and not being able to differentiate. It reminds me when I got glass for the first time and I could see each individual leaf instead of brown shade. I’m excited to try them to see what I’ve been missing. Especially, seeing a sunset for the true colors it offers.

4:08 That reaction "I did?" and how nonchalant he was, made me laugh. I'm happy for these people.

Whoever put so much effort in that technology really really deserves so much thanks.

I really can't imagine what they're going through. The world is full of bright and vibrant colors, i'm happy that science and technology have made this posible

"I'm gonna wear these forever, right?" hahahahahaahahaha what a a cute kid!

This was very moving to watch. We take for granted the wonderful colours we see everywhere every day.

A world with colors is a beautiful world. Some people dont see them in things, others can't see them in humans.

I just realized how blessed i am to have normal eyes.

This video just made me realize how blessed I am to see the world in color, even though my vision's not 20/20. I'm genuinely happy for these people to finally see what most of us see. Thank God there are people who invented these.

It may have been an accident but Don McPherson improved the lives of so many people when he attempted to make glasses for surgeons using lasers in surgery. I couldn’t imagine a life without all the beautiful colours I see on a daily basis. Good to see that the price for these is coming down too so even more people will be able to see the natural beauty our planet has.

I ended up getting colourblind glasses 3 months ago and it may have been the best purchase I've ever made it was weird seeing what some colours truly looked like

My old boss was color blind and every year he was asked to be one of the judges in a coloring contest. He always chose the weirdest ones and nobody understood why. He never told them. Not his problem 😂

5:40 that kid’s reaction...amazing & heart-warming. So happy for that kid!

I can;t imagine how brethtaking it would be to see color for the first time in your life. Especially foir the older people. Imagine living for 50 60 70 years never seeing purple . The people that made these glasses are amazing!

This is so moving and just reminds me how we take things for granted and how we don't appreciate what we have and how precious simple things can be for people.

Watch one of these every morning to realize how tremendously blessed you are!

I put my new glasses on and entered a fairyland of colour and magic, my eyes brimmed with tears and I saw my first watercolour.

I would take a person to a Wal-Mart or something like that, just so they can really see lots & lots of colors. These video’s made ME cry. I’m so happy for you all !

really hit home with the old guy at 24 minutes, bless his heart, welcome to the world of colour buddy ❤️

As a person who isn't color blind, but suffered from Nearsightedness from childhood and only being able to read things within a few feet for over 10 years. I know how these people feel, when I got my first pair of eyeglasses to correct my vision It was as if I was viewing the world for the first time over again.

“Wait you guys see like this all the time? It’s beautiful” - best ad I ever heard for these

They have them in contacts now and they work really great!

As a colorblind person I really want to cry like these people. I want/need those glasses. I feel bad.

This puts into prospective just one of the things I take for granted everyday.

I cried all the way through these. Never realized how much I took for granted being able to see colors all around me. This video has made me learn to appreciate all I am able to see. Great video and thanks for sharing this!!!!!

What an unbelievably wonderful gift to be able to give someone.

Something as simple as seeing colors can be so easily taken for granted. Life's beauty can be seen every day all around us and we choose not to take it all in. I'm so happy for these people.

Mom: “you did it!” son: I did?” 😂 so sweet! Holy crap o doodles!

I can’t get passed 8 minutes before bawling my eyes out. I’ll continue later. So beautiful

Whoever invented these deserves a medal. People's lives are being dramatically improved thanks to their innovation and hard work. Just the reactions people have when they see colour for the first time warms my heart.

I see a lot of comments talking about the kids but for me the clips of the older people really got me, knowing theyve gone most of their life without able to see color

I’ve never heard a kid be so happy saying the colors of the rainbow 😂 it’s adorable

I am not color blind but who ever invented this glasses, Thank you! it brings so much joy to people.

The fact that these glasses were made/found by accident make me so happy it brought something we take for granted to people who we tend to forget about

I am not colour blind, but I can only IMAGINE if someone told me that I was missing out in seeing things all of my life, I put in these glasses and I find out how much I had been missing! Today is the first time I have come across these videos. It is great to know that these glasses can do this! How thrilling for these sweet people

It seems we've taken for granted the gift of seeing color, life is too short, be happy and love one another. This was beautiful.

As someone who has an eye disease, be grateful for your eyesight. One day I woke up almost losing it and I never took it for granted ever again. I don’t remember what it’s like to see normal but I’m thankful I can still see even though it’s not perfect.

They don't work for all kinds of colorblindness (there are about 8 different kinds), but they are very cool regardless. Sometimes they can take several minutes to get used to and have the full effect. My dad is 80 and, amazingly, we just found out that he was colorblind for the first time. He's dropped hints here and there over the years but we finally had it confirmed with one of those colored circle tests. We are looking into getting these glasses for him.

How emotional they get seeing something we see everyday.

Loved the last guys reaction the most. So humble.

I remember someone telling me that there was a guy in art class who could only draw in pencil because he didn't know what colours were. He had to ask someone what colour his house was after he painted. He chose pink of all colours and had to repaint it. This would be a Godsend for someone like that. What a fantastic invention. Just so unbelievable they found a way for people to see colour. So happy for these people

Honestly.... I would have taken the person out into nature in spring when trees were blooming. Given them the glasses and simply let them enjoy the wonderful splendor of nature and the colors (an I would played "what a wonderful world"). The clip made me realize that I have to enjoy EVERY single day - and I'm grateful for that!

How do they know what the colours are if they’ve never experienced them before? Heartwarming.

I think the greatest thing that ever happened in the last 100yrs is the enchroma glasses. To give color to people who thought they would never see color is amazing. It's like a rebirth.

“Oh oh I gotta put these back on” 😂 -kid in grey hoodie

Whenever I'm feeling down, I watch these videos and they bring me such vicarious joy and I'm reminded of something profound that I usually take for granted. I'm so happy for the people who have the opportunity to get the chance to see the beautiful colors in this world.

What an incredible technology. I have never taken for granted the gift of seeing color and that's why these videos are so touching to watch. These people have been given the greatest gift from their loved ones. It's truly beautiful to witness.

I have been binge watching Enchroma videos. They remind me of the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy lands in Oz and the movie goes from black and white to brilliant technocolor.

These always make me happy!!! ❤️ I cry every time!!!

I have this same reaction when I finally bought an eyeglass for my nearsightedness and got worsen to astigma. Everything looks clear and crisp. This is so heartwarming. ❤❤❤

I love the guy holding the red patio umbrella like "Are you seeing this?!"

The guy who opened the door and screamed 😂😂.. beautiful..

The best joy is seeing other people's joy. Thanks for posting.

Forgive my ignorance but, I didn't know this condition exist. I am beyond happy for them. Much love. 💕

never knew there were glasses to help people with being color blind. this warms my heart seeing these people happy

5:47 this kid is so cute and very appreciative towards his mom

I can't imagine how this would feel being able to see colors for the first time. Or the ones of people hearing for first time. I've had perfect vision and hearing all my life.

I always took for granted being able to see colours. These videos have shown me the power and majesty of colour. When the people cry, I cry too because I can understand that it must be like seeing a whole new world. Like going from living in black and white to living in colour. These glasses are an absolute blessing.

I cried all the way thru this, it’s amazing how we that aren’t color blind take the colors for granted, you could feel the emotions and love from the family and people that gifted these individuals with that gift and the true happiness of the ones that received it, God bless you all

We need more videos like these. Everyone was so appreciative.

It made everything red.

Something we take for granted is seeing and seeing color! I was so excited when I saw the reactions when they eventually saw color.

"This is a completely different color that I haven't seen before. And I've been wearing it."

Of all the GARBAGE on the Internet today, this is a pearl. 🥰 You made ME cry. Good stuff. ❤️

As someone with two different colored eyes I am randomly asked if i'm color blind which I am not. However every time I hear it I am just thankful for my eyesight. The little boy at 9 just broke my heart when he asked if he could wear them to school.

I watched several of these videos before and it’s so emotional. If I had the money I would buy these for everybody that was colorblind. And then I would take them to the zoo and the botanical gardens, the museum and to an aquarium.

Experiencing the world all over again especially for adults. Breathtaking and emotional. World needs more improvements like these.

That’s cool these people can see new things but the most beautiful part is how much love these friends and family have for each other.

Colorblindness-correcting glasses will not change color perception for people whose deficiency is caused by a complete absence of red or green photoreceptors. And the positive effects of the glasses last only as long as they are being worn. The glasses don't in any way modify a person's photoreceptors, optic nerves or visual cortex to fix colorblindness. "Color perception requires a complete set of optimally functioning equipment, and glasses will not replace or repair missing or broken mechanisms," says Dr. Schwab.

My son was like this when he got his first vision glasses (not colourblind ones). He was 4, just gazing everywhere and going wow, wow, at everything. We were in town and I had to explain what was going on to the store keepers as he was acting so strange. He is 22 now but cannot get laser treatment as he vision is still too bad.

No matter kid or an adult I cried each time. We take the little things in our lives for granted. They aren’t blind but are disabled

They never really had a full grasp of what they're missing until they had these pair of glasses. And most of us missed to appreciate what we're used to seeing until we saw this video. ♥️💚💛💜💙🧡

Aww that man at the end - so overwhelmed, brought tears to my eyes

Something we take for granted every day and don’t even realized how beautiful the world can be

now get empathy glasses to those who disliked the video
