Allison Reed hasn't added a story.
This is Jake. He's 13 years old and has never truly seen brown, green or red (ok, he can see very bright reds). As far as he is concerned, mint green and light pink are white, blue and purple are the same color to him. People around him are always talking about the cool/pretty colors they see that he doesn't. I think he's a genius, but when he gets colors wrong, it makes him feel bad even though he knows it isn't his fault. His grandfather was colorblind, as well as my older son. We always thought this was just something they had to live with until we heard about enchroma glasses and now there is this exciting idea that maybe he can see like other people do!
He loves the outdoors, is always outside skateboarding, riding bike, playing football or fishing. He's pretty artistic too, he draws, paints, and has even made some pretty cool sculptures. He has hand made skateboards and fishing lures, I help him with colors for painting them but he would really like to be able to do it all by himself. His dad works on boats and he likes working with him. It's important to be able to see colors when working with electronics and he'd like to work with his dad. If you would be willing to help, I would be so grateful and someday, maybe we can pay it forward :-)
WHAT IS ENCHROMA?
Enchroma glasses are an optical assistive device; they are not a cure for color blindness. Results vary depending on the type and extent of color vision deficiency per individual. The glasses are estimated to be effective for 4 out of 5 cases (80%) of red-green color vision deficiency – prospective users are encouraged to take our online color vision test to assess the likelihood of efficacy. Enchroma does not endorse use of the glasses to pass occupational screening tests such as the Ishihara test. For more information please read the FAQs , learn about the Enchroma technology and story , or contact customer support .
