Why is this not higher???

Your story rreminded me of when I got my first pair of glasses. I've been extremely nearsighted since childhood (like 20/200). But I didn't get my first pair of glasses until I was 10. When I put them on, I was totally amazed! The world looked completely different. The doctor told that was how "normal" people saw. I never knew. Just wanted to share with the community here.

I actually cried, both from joy and humility. Thank you SO much for sharing your experience of things we take for granted. <3

Never knew that there are special glasses for people who are color blind. Thanks

So a few questions and I am sure this will come off as not believing the experience that isn't the case. I thought that colorblindness was being unable to distinguish between certain colors. So an obnoxious red car would still be obnoxious but just in what that person sees red as shiny and brown or green? I mean not being able to see red doesn't mean It is invisible or grey. Is it that colorblindness also affects the persons ability to see the intensity of that color against a background they are not colorblind to, even if it looks like a different color? If this is the case then rainbows could be almost invisible because they are so faint, over half of it my be part of that blind spectrum? Anyway thanks for any input. I am going to do some googling. This has me interested.

I cant stop smiling

God's creation is undoubtedly beautiful!

I got my son and dad a pair at Christmas but they didn't work! I was so bummed! Glad yours worked!

I wish we all could experience something like this that we have always taken for granted. We don't realize how great we have it until it's gone. Lovely story!

"Why the f**k do you buy red cars" lmaooo

DON'T EAT THE BERRIES

This. is. so. cool.

Damn onion ninjas

This is just as beautiful

a child with unhuman description skill, how awesome was that to read

You made me cry. I remember working for an attorney who was color blind. I read about colorblind glasses, then in the development stage. I bought a bunch of colored photographic lenses and tried to show him color. He got some and was amazed. I hope that attorney now has a pair of these glasses. As an artist, I can't even imagine living without color. So happy you are experiencing what most of us take for granted.

I actually cried. To see the world through new eyes. What a gift.

I had no idea that color blind people don't see everyday miraculous wonders the same way I do. This is amazing.

Simple----keep it simple for we forget how good it can be.

I’m glad you saw pure color, and great happiness in all this color! We often take it for granted, until a rainbow comes along and smacks us up side the head! Enjoy, burn the colors in to your brain, so when you dream from now on, you dream in color!❤️

omg...this is profoundly moving

That is the most, pure and gut wrenching emotion, that makes you almost see the colors with him! It really moved me and made me cry, I felt so happy for him!

I am glad you got the chance to see this !!!

We, the general public Normal Sighted People take so much for granted. We need to be reminded of what we have every so often.

I'm not crying...you are.

I'm so glad that these actually work for some. Unfortunately, I just have problems with some shades of pink that for me are "not pink"... I can't tell you what color it is, just not pink. With everyone making such a fuss about pink being for this, blue is for that, and I'm here not even able to see what the big deal is on one particular color pink. The one color i actually get excited over when I can actually see it as pink. Got the glass, all excited and practically all the pink were now "not pink" except for Rose Quartz. As you may guess, I have always been able to see Rose Quartz as a vivid pink and I love it. Then again, it is the "Love Stone" so it would be kinda hard not to love. I am just happy that these glasses do actually work for others.

what a beautiful world.......

Wow! Just WOW! I’m crying because my husband’s colorblind now.

Really made me choke up

this is such a miraculous story. it deeply touched me deeply & even made me cry & laugh outloud for not only your incredibly, wonderful & funny story but also it brought back memories. having been raised by my grandmother who had cataracts & grandfather who was colorblind. being a very curious child, i must have pestered my grandpa w/ many ?'s on how he saw colors. until one day he pulled open his sock drawer explaining what he saw blue was blue indeed, black was deep dark brown, even a pair of joke rainbow toe socks he saw as mostly as browns with blue & yellow! from then on i understood why he would sometimes wear a pink shirt with a yellow tie! by the way he was also a painter & his artworks were quite good too! he used to tell me he cheated because all the colors had the names printed clearly on each tube!

Now that my friends is so cool I have no words to express how that moved me so. Stop and see what really matters.... like looking up into the blue sky, a pretty rainbow.

Very moving - and I am so happy for that person.

I have watched videos of people using these glasses for the first time and every one of them have the same reaction: they cry. I cry with them. The intense emotion of watching someone see color for the first time in their life is overwhelming. Technology can be miraculous.

Wait til you see a great sunset. I still pull over when I'm driving so I can enjoy a "wow" sunset.

This made my day!

The majority of us do take what ‘gifts’ we have lightly.....as one grows older, I think we realise and appreciate more. I’m so happy for YOU that you were able with these wonderful glasses to experience the daily things that sometimes go ignored by the majority. I love Red.....my car is White!

So happy, I'm tearing up. Thanks.

Aww I loved reading that :D

my bf is color blind...so sad he often mistaken one color to another but he is sweet and caring despite this. upvoting this :)

I cried actual tears! This glasses are the miracle of the XXI century. So glad for those who can now see the things that we all take for granted.

This reminds us how beautiful is our world, which we tend to forget. It makes us really humble. I have two brothers-in-law who are colorblind but unfortunately we can't find those glasses here, hope we'll be able to in some time
