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, and generally agree that they do not allow the wearer to see "new" colors.
Several peer-reviewed studies have nonetheless reported positive effects among anomalous trichromats in real-world or laboratory testing, including increased color discrimination. Additionally, research co-authored by EnChroma consultants John Werner and Kenneth Knoblauch has reported enhanced chromatic contrast perception and adaptive changes from long-term use.
