Amazing! The girl is right, even though we appreciate color, we take the ability to see color for granted.

My father was color blind so am I, we don't see colors as other people do, it's a bummer so I see beauty in text such as scripts rather than the sometimes colorful output.
I see colors and forms but not as you do

Interesting Graechan. The way I understand how these glasses work, it should actually work for you so long as your's is RG colorblindness and not complete (grey only) blindness. Hopefully it can be available to you one day. :)

Just a few video links for you. Trust me; there's many many more, but these two will make believers out of you. :)

Darn you, Lyle, I just spent an hour watching all the different videos about this...I couldn't stop myself. Fascinating, but it's way past my bedtime, lol.

These videos touched me too 2-ton. Watched nearly a dozen of them. I just wish I can get a pair myself since it vivifies colors for folk that see normal and I do like saturated colors. :)

My son is RG color blind and these glasses would be great for him. Some of the police departments won't accept him because of his color blindness and maybe these would change that. I wonder if insurance would cover them.

I have been wearing purple sunglasses (prescription) for my entire adult life precisely because it enables me to distinguish between colors that I otherwise couldn't. I don't know if I see the colors "correctly", but it does let me see them better.

Based on what I've seen these folks experiencing Saul, my bet that both you and Graechan would see miracles. Still, the price is rather hefty. What's the gift of color worth though; to me it's priceless. :)
