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.

Micropsia is a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are. Micropsia can be caused by optical factors (such as wearing glasses), by distortion of images in the eye (such as optically, via swelling of the cornea or from changes in the shape of the retina such as from retinal edema, macular degeneration, or central serous ...
In borosilicate glasses rich in boron, sulfur imparts a blue color. With calcium it yields a deep yellow color. [4] Manganese can be added in small amounts to remove the green tint given by iron, or in higher concentrations to give glass an amethyst color. Manganese is one of the oldest glass additives, and purple manganese glass was used since ...
Pinhole glasses are a type of corrective glasses that do not use a lens. Pinhole glasses do not actually refract the light or change focal length. Instead, they create a diffraction limited system, which has an increased depth of field, similar to using a small aperture in photography. This form of correction has many limitations that prevent ...
Candy canes are a peppermint treat long associated with Christmas. Learn their history, including why they were first made with red and white stripes.
Americans are obsessed with a white Christmas and all the trimmings – snow, icicles, sleigh rides, frost on windowpanes, cuddling up by the fire, mittens, the North Pole.
Beating out North Carolina for Christmas tree production is Oregon. According to the USDA, the "Beaver State" produced more than 4.5 million Christmas trees in 2022 to earn the top spot in the ...
Transmittance of EnChroma color correcting lenses (indoor and outdoor) superimposed onto the normalized spectral sensitivities of the cone opsins of a color normal observer. Glasses with a notch filter (e.g. EnChroma glasses) filter a narrow band of light around 590 nm that excites both the L- and M-cones (yellow-green wavelengths). [12]
