Study Published in Nature Journal 鈥淓ye鈥� Reveals Stimulation of Color Vision Functions in Cerebral Cortex and Neural Adaptivity

The 不良研究所 Rosenberg School of Optometry (不良研究所RSO) is proud to announce the publication of a groundbreaking new study that found special EnChroma glasses, engineered with technically advanced spectral notch filters, enhance color vision for those with the most common types of color vision deficiency. Test subjects with color blindness experienced immediate improvement, which persisted long-term even after subjects stopped wearing the glasses.

Normal color vision, predicated on three cones sensitive to red, green and blue light, is essential for critical color discrimination in multiple occupations and for learning in school. Yet, 8% of males and 0.5% of females have hereditary color vision deficiency; an estimated 13 million in the U.S. and 350 million globally.

In the study, 13 color blind subjects were given the special color-correcting lenses developed by EnChroma and wore them daily for 11 to 14 days. Cone contrast sensitivity and color naming were then assessed by presenting the subjects colored letters visible only to the red, green or blue cones. With the glasses, subjects showed immediate improvement. After 12 days, improved color vision was sustained even without wearing the glasses.

Most significantly, building upon prior research, the study found immediate and long-term improvement in color threshold (lowest col
