I got my colorblind girlfriend some of these and she was like "meh."
Firemanshow
How cool...but take him outside!!
secretoaster
Wait until you see tits in real color
sparkleband
I cried too
Dorkette
SpoilsburyToastMan
If your eyes physically can't see the colours, how do glasses help?
SmallieFishing
I honest to god think he looked at the girl he liked then started crying , either way it is amazing tech. To help people
danielsjack4227
Awww, now he can see the colour of pee...
BobKatt
Beautiful
lesliedehart360
Aww bless his little heart. Sooo sweet. Now he’s going to get picked on for crying.
SignHerePlease
Wow, this is the kind of thing we need to see more of. Wholesome and sweet as fuck, without being forced. Awesome!
HarbingerOfThis
letspoopandbrowse
Now he’s one racist muthafaker
ThrusterJaguar
The principal used it as a teaching moment.....what a guy. "Just goes to show you have a beautiful world kids appreciate it." Fucking legend
TheRealKingCobra
Wow that principal seems like a great and loving guy.
GrumpyCollegeKid
I may just be too high and it may be just too early but that made me cry
f0622
He doesn't see new colors https://youtu.be/BrEyOkNRzGI
IamNotAshamed
Did you even watch the video? Because it tells the opposite
TheExodu5
As a colourblind person, I can’t help but feel like these reactions are fake. I’d like to see for myself, but $600 is too much to chance.
ChefSanji
I got to try those echroma glasses as part of a study... They didn't do anything to help my colorblindness. (deuteranopia)
dumbinsults
Too few green receptors, maybe shifted too far to the red.
Northberg
The colour blind glasses don't work that far though? The effect is gradual
StevieTheAussie
Still heaps better than nothing.
Definitely, but this comment was just to point out that this video is not a realistic expectation
tobiassolem
Label this poorly: Teacher puts student in tears, and proceeds to condescendingly comfort him.
iancarry
huh.. what a nice school.. i’d get a smack on back of my head and an improptu test for wearing tinted glasses :)
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
Okay, but how much does that fucken principal make? Those glasses are $600!
Gigantically
That's not a nice school, that's a normal one, you just went to a shit one, sorry love
but it might to have something with the fact that our principal was former secret service informant :-/
Isthe4thtimethecharm
If In remember correctly this principle is the same type of color blind.
LCPLunderground
I’m sorry.....what?
yeah .. im from centra EU .. former commie country.. it was not rare, that leading positions in companies or schools were given.. [1/2]
..to people loyal to the regime and willing to actually report on own people :-/ .. after the revolution these people were uncovered.. [2/3]
.. and depending on what kind of cooperation were they in, they got prosecuted (but mostly did not :-/ ) ..
Mozzie181
Why make him cry in front of classmates?
MsDifficulty
Its not like theyre humiliating them. But yeah stupid and ignorant classamate points out he cried. Good for them to see a positive way to
not take things for granted.
SirGentlemanGrizzlyFighterEsquire
Loved the reaction! "Hey, you can see the world better than ever before! How do you feel??"
petresun
THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO COLORS?!
OneGreatFap
Let the dude go outside and see some real contrast. Those walls aren't even decorated lol
BoJoTo
Looks like a whiteboard/VAP...
rollerskateorgies
Thank God for your suggestion. He was going to be kept in that room for the rest of his life.
confanity
How do you know they didn't put the stuff with color *in front of him*?
mischivousmic
Right, 'go for a walk buddy, you've got a whole new world to see'
EvilStarLegacy
Doctor! Your floor looks like a firework show!
MeowMachine12
Right, seeing grass and trees and flowers would be awesome for him
Sahlomo
Motherfucking sunsets dude
kinkyreggae
Leaves!
tiduszecht
LEAFIES!
Deathbringer2568
Aren't All Leafs basically the same color except in fall?
Isorikk
Ah, the best place to experience your first colors. In a dreary egg-white classroom where the only real color is taunting outside.
reduglie
They could have done this better by explaining that there are no colors during school hours.
Could honestly be better to start off somewhere simple and build up to it, keep it from being too overwhelming all at once?
somepersondoingsomethings
There could easily be a wall of windows outside of camera view. There usually was in most schools I've been to.
flyingmonkeystick
If there was, he probably wouldn’t have gone to the periodic table and would have looked out the window.
robertelbmx
idk what kinda school you've been to but in American public schools, not every classroom has windows
Not everyone does but most schools do. Just a simple google search of american public schools shows that to be the case.
purge17
How does this work optically ? If they lack the cones to see a color how can glasses 'fix' that?
BaddyOneShoe
These DO NOT work. They are $300 polarized glasses. The miracle videos all follow the same script. It's Enchroma's marketing campaign.
PirateRubberDuck
Works for red green colour blindness where the sensitivity of the two are too close. It blocks out the middle bit.
WeylandYutaniCorp
They correct the ratio of colored light so the eye receives more of the wavelengths they have a hard time seeing. Colorblind people see -
- less of certain wavelengths, so they get overpowered by the others. It's not that they entirely lack the cones.
swagb98623
So more colour resistant than colour blind?
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
Depends, there are types of color blindness
Sort of. It's more like trying to hear a whisper when someone else is yelling. Then wearing something that limits loud noises.
khold90
What? You can absolutely be missing the cones. -opia means missing, -omaly is malfunctioning/weak.
Like tritanopia, you completely lack any blue cones. Tritanomaly you have a hard time seeing blue.
Which is exactly why there are different glasses for different people and they don't work for everyone. But try to explain all the possible-
TheDinner
Hardcore sorcery
There is 2 types of colourblindness. Where the cones are weak and where they are missing. 1/2
If you have weak cones the glasses really ramp up the contrast so your weak cones have a much easier time. 2/3
For missing cones the glasses use the sprawling mess of biology that is your eyes to trick them into thinking they see it. 3/3
Thresholdpush
Seeing colours I've never seen for the first time? Yeah, I'd likely cry too. Would be a wild sensation.
dandanthedrywallman
My sons are both colorblind and I wanted to buy these glasses, but their dad realized they would know how much they are missing without them
AlpacaMyBagsAndGoNow
Sorry, but that is a very stupid dad. Let's purposefully hold back on giving our kids a tool that could help them experience life in color.
CasualFascist
It’s how I feel after taking mushrooms
Gwurver
Ever stuck a finger in while having a tug?
Antoniorocko
Have you ever seen blurple?
badtzmaruxo
The recipient winds up crying in every video I've seen of people getting these glasses. They start off like it's nbd, then the tears. :)
Selection bias. The other reactions are not typically going to be put up on the internet.
Headcoldsneezeaustin
I lived with double astigmatisms, w/o glasses, until I was about 17. When I put them on for the first time, it was overwhelming how much ->
StrykerRamoray
I had the same thing, didn’t realise that everything was supposed to have outlines I thought everything just bled into everything else
I could actually see. Didn't cry, but my eyes welled up and I was in a strange emotional state. can't even imagine seeing colors you couldnt
optionone
try acid
More vivid, like real life HDR, but sadly no new colours for me.
Obsidian3
I cry whenever someone spells it colours.
Can’t handle correct spelling?
America is the world. :^D
What a small world you live in.
Knew a mostly deaf girl, who got new hearing aids. She was overwhelmed by things she didnt know you could hear. Wind in trees, water pouring
Illithidbane
"Wait, people can hear farts? So all those..." "Yes Deborah, we heard them all."
Hahahaha
Any small sounds, she was balling her eyes out. It was really special. Ice in a glass was a big one for her. Dog feets on wood floors too
I've always enjoyed heavy rain on the roof. Roar of a river. Birds... Can't imagine not hearing music.
tr3buchet
how do you know you’re seeing them all now?
Oh, I'm definitely not. Not all colour is perceivable with our eyes. There are so many spectrums it's incredible.
NinjaPoopy
I cried when I accidently spilled my baked beans in bed so I probably would too
FourLegsGood
Have you never done that before?
NSAgent
I’d cry too if I Kevin-Maloned the bed.
BadBull
THIS NIGGA EATIN BEANS
PaulyParker
Please tell me you scooped those beans up directly into your mouth
Psionickitten
I've seen videos of multiple people who have put those glasses on for the first time. Every one of them cried. Every one.
yourlocaleconomicsnerd
That must be how they work
Bigworm666999

Joomuk
Love your sense of humor
Stensticles
It's an overwhelming sensation. Your activating a sensor in the brain that it hasn't experienced before and the sensation is literally 1/2
2/2 overwhelming. Also happens with people that get a hearing aid and can hear for the first time.
NoOddJob
didn't work for me, sadly
sexysnowman
Same, I can’t differentiate colours for shit. Was excited to try the glasses, and nothing. Maybe I’m just stupid and don’t know colours lol
corrosivebrain
Are there different glasses for different kinds of color blindness? If not, maybe in the future there will be.
PRoseLegend
What kind of colour deficiency do you have? My husband has the red/green kind and scoffs at the idea of these glasses but I'd love to try.
im red green as well. have him look at the website. they have a color blind test to take and it will tell if they think they will help.
Imagetap
Same :(
joot
Well, there’s some selection bias there. People aren’t going to share a video of someone just going, “Wow... that’s pretty cool.” ?
Maybe. Maybe the selection was of people who haven't ever seen the depth of color the rest of us can and it unilaterally blows them away?
Darkspire
Anything vaguely intellectual sounding like "selection bias" is immediately lapped up by this community.
LtKifKroker
Someone I know whobt4ied those cried after he took them off because he realized what he will miss out on for the rest of his life.
You should have just finger gunned and yee-hawed.
There are videos of everything everywhere now. "Must be selection bias!" is just as bad as assuming that always happens...which, by the way,
the person you responded to didn't do.
Sure people may post it, but it wont get widely shared. Way to miss the point...which, by the way, most people who read my comment got.
DubhIainn
Most importantly, the enchroma glasses usually take a few days to set off in. The gesture is great, but it's often not that sudden. Still +1
MoistenedPenguin
They will have impact immediately, but improve over time. Even to non-colorblind people, you will notice as soon as you wear them.
wiltsjunk
That's funny, never heard that. There are like thousands of videos of people trying them for the first time & being overwhelmed w/ emotion.
This is a real life account of them as recorded by one person (everyone is different) https://youtu.be/UDERamAQ41I
fairybug
Me too. Are all those faked then, or are they the lucky ones who are effected immediately, or what?
I guess some people may have an immediate reactionm, there are many different types of colourblindness, I'm by no means an expert.
MistressLyda
Probably not interesting enough to go viral if it is more a "oh, huh, things look a bit... something?" for a week.
HeyIveBeenTurnedIntoACowCanIGoHome
That was actually really cool to watch. Thanks!
