Color blind glasses or color correcting lenses are light filters, usually in the form of glasses or contact lenses, that attempt to alleviate color blindness, by bringing deficient color vision closer to normal color vision or to make certain color tasks easier to accomplish.
EnChroma are a brand of color corrective lenses designed to address the symptoms of red–green color blindness.Studies have shown that these lenses can alter the appearance of colors, but they do not restore normal color vision, [1] and generally agree that they do not allow the wearer to see "new" colors.

Photochromism is the reversible change of color upon exposure to light. It is a transformation of a chemical species ( photoswitch ) between two forms by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation ( photoisomerization ), where the two forms have different absorption spectra.
A photochromic eyeglass lens, part of the lens darkened after exposure to sunlight while the other part remained covered. A photochromic lens is an optical lens that darkens on exposure to light of sufficiently high frequency, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state.
Transitions Optical is a U.S.-based company known for manufacturing photochromic lenses, which darken on exposure to specific types of light. The company was founded in 1990. [1] In 1991, Transitions Optical became the first company to commercialize and manufacture plastic photochromic lenses. [2]
Adjustable focus lenses, like single-focus lenses, also reduce image-jump and spatial distortion in the field of view associated with traditional multi-focal lenses. Additionally, the ideal near-vision correction can be achieved with precision, because the variable lenses emulate the focusing action of the youthful (non-presbyopic) eye.
With prices starting at $60 per frame, prescription lenses included, Pair is already pretty affordable. ... Still, there's no denying the appeal of glasses that can change colors and styles in an ...
An apochromat, or apochromatic lens (apo), is a photographic or other lens that has better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration than the much more common achromat lenses. The prefix apo- comes from the Greek preposition ἀπό- , meaning free from or away from.
