Thinking about new glasses? Take a colour blindness test first! Read on.

If you’re planning to buy new glasses and suspect you may have a colour vision deficiency, test colour blindness at first to initiate the right course of treatment. Our simple yet powerful, quick colour blindness test will help you figure out the perfect eyeglasses that fit perfectly with all your vision requirements.

Here are the reasons why you should have ‘test colour blindness’ on your checklist before buying your next pair of glasses.

Reason 1: Know Your Colour Blindness Levels

You get end-to-end support at COLORON. Our eye care specialists have designed precise colour blindness tests where your colour vision abilities are analysed. It detects if you have protan (red) or deutan (green) colour vision deficiency and whether it is mild, moderate or strong. After taking the test, you will receive an email with your deficiency type and a customized recommendation within 5 minutes.

For best results, take the test in a not-too-bright environment and follow the instructions carefully. If you have any concerns, consult an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation.

Reason 2: Select the Correct Lenses for Enhancing Colour

If the problem you are facing involves having a hard time identifying certain colours, then glasses for colour blindness can be of great help. Our Strong lens colour blindness glasses are designed to increase your colour discrimination capabilities, while our Xperience lens colour blindness glasses enhances colour contrast and vividness.

Our colour blindness glasses filter specific wavelengths of light to enhance colour discrimination. This method can effectively improve colour discrimination and, in the long term, colour identification. You quickly get used to the at first seemingly uniform hue you experience in the short term and after 10-15 minutes into wearing the glasses, your eyes and brain will adapt to the new experience and you will be able to better distinguish shades of colours.

Reason 3: More Comfort and Clarity with Colours

People with colour vision deficiency suffer from eye strain, headache, and discomfort while interpreting colour-coded information or working in a colour-coded environment. Our online test will detail exactly what you need to select lenses that not only correct your colour vision but also reduce the amount of eye strain and increase contrast in using computers for viewing, reading, and other outdoor activities for a more comfortable visual experience.

Reason 4: More Reasons for Selection of Frame and Lens Colour

Based on your colour blindness test results, we can assist you in selecting frames and lenses that suit your colour blindness type (protan or deutan) and, help you avoid those selections that are prone to create colour distortion or discomfort for you––helping you be certain that your choice of eyewear promotes clear, comfortable vision.

Reason 5: Receive Maximum Benefits of Stylish, Functional Spectacles

Stylish glasses are an investment, and making an informed choice ensures that your eyewear is both functional and fashionable. With the insight gained from your online colour blindness test, you can choose a pair of lenses that enhance your colour vision and also style your personality.
