For people who can see the full spectrum of color, we take all the shades of light in the world for granted. However, there is still a hint of something missing in the world for the colorblind who cannot sense those colors that are very much a part of the reality we live in.
Fortunately, EnChroma glasses were invented that can make colorblind people see the world in full color, so to speak. However, these items cost a small fortune. But for 24-year-old Blaire Ahlers, that was a small price to pay for the most priceless gift she could give her husband-to-be: a world full of color.
That’s why on their wedding day, Blaire gave her husband, Griffin, these “magical” glasses which he eagerly wanted to try then and there. In the video clip, Griffin can be seen walking outside their house looking at the world in all its glory for the first time in his life.
According to Griffin, before he put the glasses on, everything around him looked “sort of dull.” But those glasses were, simply put, “life-changing” for him. To play the pun to its limit, Griffin was seeing the world in a whole new light.
Griffin was so overwhelmed at the priceless gift that he was given that he was reduced to tears at his loving wife’s thoughtfulness. His reaction was definitely worth the $300 that the special glasses cost.
It’s amazing how something as simple as colors that normal people take for granted has such a huge impact for someone who hasn’t experienced it. But thanks to EnChroma, they’re experiencing what life should have been from the start.
The EnChroma website states: “Color blindness affects millions of people worldwide.point 75 | It affects 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women.point 107 | The condition ranges from a variety of classes, red-green color blindness being the most common.point 189 | Most people who suffer from color blindness are not blind to color but have a reduced ability to see them.point 276 |
Color blindness is also called Color Vision Deficiency (CVD).point 53 | CVD can be acquired, but most are inherited genetically.point 101 | The genes that influence the colors inside the eyes, called ‘photopigments,’ are carried on the X chromosome.point 198 | If these genes are abnormal or damaged, color blindness occurs.point 252 |
