The special patented glasses have been engineered with specially designed “spectral notch filters” that enhance color vision for people with the most common types of red-green color vision deficiency or anomalous trichromacy, the researchers say.

Also known as color vision deficiency, most colorblindness occurs because of an extreme overlap between the photoreceptors, also known as cones, in someone’s eye.

The optometrist said, “It’s not that rare in males,” 1 in 12 men have some color vision deficiency, and 1 in 200 women.
