Facts about Color Blindness and EnChroma

There are an estimated 300 million people in the world with color vision deficiency.

• 1 in 12 men are color blind (8%).
• 1 in 200 women are color blind (0.5%).

Color blindness, or color vision deficiency (CVD), is typically inherited genetically and carried recessively on the X chromosome. While color blindness is often considered a mild disability, studies estimate that two-thirds of people with CVD feel it's a handicap. Red-green color blindness doesn't mean only color confusion with red and green colors; much of the color spectrum can cause confusion.

Enchroma glasses are the only specialty eyewear that alleviate red-green color blindness, enhancing colors without compromising color accuracy. Enchroma started in 2010, after ten years of R&D.
