These solar-powered glasses are not only cool, but also correct red and green visual impairment

EnChroma is a solar-powered glasses designed for colorblind users.

It helps the human eye distinguish between green and red light and costs up to $800.

For ordinary people, we may be accustomed to the colorful world around us,

But for a special group of people, there seems to be a color that is forever missing from their world,

They are what we often call colorblind people.

Depending on the severity of the condition,

People with color blindness can be divided into two categories:

One is more serious,

Anything they see is black and white, which is very rare.

Most of our common color blindness patients, they actually have some color recognition ability,

The main thing is that it is difficult to distinguish between red and green.

In order to enable people with color blindness to see the whole world, EnChroma has launched a series of solar glasses called Cx.

Judging from the appearance, this glasses is not special, and it is not much different from the solar glasses we usually see.

But it is able to reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light by balancing the visible light "signal",

Let the red and green lights "stand out" so that the wearer can distinguish them.

The "killer" technology of these solar glasses lies in the fact that there is a self-developed coating on its lens.

It is reported that this coating can protect the lens, scratch and scratch resistant,

It is able to "filter" certain wavelengths of light that can cause color "confusion".

This improves the signal-to-noise power ratio in the color recognition process

Let the red and green highlights.

EnChroma offers two different models of glasses for users with different degrees of color blindness.

They can be used to filter different wavelengths of light.

In addition, there are other models of glasses that simply increase the color density of all visible light.

Or increase the color density of light that can block ultraviolet light.

Unfortunately, though, if the user can't see any color,

They will not be able to use the glasses to correct their color blindness.

This is because, in the end, these glasses are just solar glasses.

Their color correction function can only be done in the presence of light.

EnChroma's Cx solar glasses will be available by the end of this year.

It is expected that the price of the whole set of solar glasses will be at least about 800 US dollars (about 5522 yuan)

The price of buying a single lens should be around 700 US dollars (about 4831 yuan).
