Benefits of Colour Blind Glasses for Kids in the Classroom
Help them live life more confidently—give your child the gift of vibrant learning with COLORON
Colour blindness, or colour vision deficiency, is a fairly common childhood condition, in that it occurs in about 1 in 12 boys and 1 in 200 girls. It is likely that in the average-sized classroom, at least one child will have some difficulty distinguishing certain colours. Colour blindness occurs more in males than females because of its X-linked pattern of genetic inheritance. Early detection is critical because it could massively influence the learning experience of a child, especially in an environment where colour is considered a part of the very important segment of the curriculum.
Our main goal is to see that every person with colour blindness achieves their maximum potential, especially children.
The Challenge Among Kids (H2)
Though it may appear simple, understanding colour is critical to a child's academic development. An understanding of colour is essential to most students' learning experiences, from learning shapes ("Find the red square") and math ("How many redfish are there?") to identifying uniform colours in sports and other activities.
Additional issues arise from a general lack of colour-blind accessibility in educational tools. Graphs in textbooks frequently use colours to delineate data, whereas increasingly visual tools, particularly those derived from the traditional overhead projector, require normal colour vision. Colour-blind students face an unfair playing field due to a lack of accessibility. Students often develop coping mechanisms to compensate for their colour blindness, but these methods can slow them down and prevent them from absorbing as much information as other sighted students.
Benefits of Our Colour Blind Glasses for Kids (H2)
Improved Colour Recognition for Enhanced Learning (H3)
The ability to differentiate between reddish and greenish shades is made better with colour-blindness glasses for a child. This improved understanding makes the learning of various lessons easier, and it is hence ultimately more effective in following instructions. This mostly applies in the sciences and geography where colour differentiation is paramount in understanding.
Boosting Confidence and Participation in Class Activities (H3)
The colour blind glasses give children a comfort level to participate in all sorts of classroom and extracurricular activities in which colour is predominantly involved, such as art or science experiments. This allows colourblind children to stay actively engaged in the learning process.
Reducing Classroom Distractions and Frustrations (H3)
Colour blind glasses allow school children to participate in group activities and engage with peers, without feeling isolated. With enhanced colour vision, they can interact with their peers more confidently, and this improves team spirit and collaboration within the class.
Facilitating Better Interaction with Colour-Coded Materials (H3)
This is true, especially for subjects that involve the use of colour to represent meaning—for example, Mathematics, which uses colour on graphs and charts, and Geography, which has colour-coded maps. These subjects become much more comprehensible with colour blind glasses. It leads to better comprehension, more accurate work, and improved performance on assessments.
Our Promise
Our colour blind glasses lenses are predominantly designed for the red-green colour vision deficiency that makes up the majority. We continue to work on developing solutions for a broader range of colour vision deficiencies, and we encourage you to try our lenses to see how they work with your specific condition.
At COLORON, we believe there is a need for increased parity in solutions for colour blindness in the classroom. Our outdoor and indoor glasses for colour blindness are specifically sized for small faces and can help kids build colour confidence from an early age.
