I guess spoilers don ' t really work for emojis , on at least <| sep |> Congrats on new purples ! ! To clarify , all I ' m arguing is that the common perception , ' Enchroma cures colorblindness ', is not true and that they don ' t work ideally in all conditions due to the lens tint . Also , I ' m not a fan of the frames , but that ' s just me . I wasn ' t trying to say they can ' t help you see new colors . The reason we ' re colorblind is because the cones in our eyes don ' t correctly differentiate between various color wavelengths , causing distinct colors to blend when they really shouldn ' t . Seeing a broader range of color by helping those cones separate wavelengths makes perfect sense no argument there ! In truth , I ' d love to try them out but I just can ' t stand how much they cost and the frames . I know they have a risk free return policy but if I think they ' re neat it means I have to commit to paying that price to keep them pain . I ' m also holding off because I ' m hopeful they ' ll improve the technology soon to allow similar color filtering in the indoor frames . Indoors is where they ' d be most helpful to me on a daily basis .
