How Pilestone Color Blind Glasses Work

Pilestone Color Blind Glasses are designed to help those with color vision deficiency see the world in its full, vibrant color. Understanding how these glasses work can help you experience life in a whole new way.

Color blindness occurs when certain cones in the eye, which are responsible for detecting colors, don’t function properly. Normally, light enters the eye and stimulates three types of cones—red, green, and blue—allowing you to perceive a wide range of colors. However, when the cones overlap or don't function properly, certain colors may become difficult to distinguish, leading to confusion and difficulty in everyday activities.

Pilestone glasses are designed to filter out specific wavelengths of light, correcting the overlap in your cones and enhancing your ability to differentiate between colors. These glasses do not cure color blindness, but they significantly improve the clarity and vibrancy of colors, allowing you to see the world more like someone with normal vision. With the right pair of Pilestone glasses, you can experience a richer, more accurate perception of color.

What Types of Color Blindness Can Pilestone Glasses Help With?

Pilestone Color Blind Glasses are specially crafted to help with various types of color blindness. Here’s an overview of the different color vision deficiencies that Pilestone glasses can assist with:

  • Red-Green Color Blindness (Deuteranopia/Protanopia): This is the most common type of color blindness, where people have difficulty distinguishing between red and green hues. Pilestone glasses help enhance the differentiation between red and green, making these colors easier to identify.

  • Blue-Yellow Color Blindness (Tritanopia): Those with this condition struggle to tell blue from yellow. Pilestone glasses for blue-yellow deficiency balance these colors, improving contrast and helping you distinguish them more clearly.

How to Determine What Type of Color Blindness You Have

Understanding your specific type of color blindness is essential for choosing the right pair of Pilestone glasses. There are a few ways to determine your color vision deficiency:

  1. Online Color Blind Tests: You can start by taking a simple color blindness test online, such as Pilestone Color Blind Test. These tests usually involve identifying numbers or shapes embedded in a series of colored dots. If you have difficulty seeing certain numbers or shapes, it may indicate a specific type of color blindness.

  2. Consult a Specialist: For a more accurate diagnosis, consider visiting an eye care professional who can conduct a comprehensive color vision test. This will help you identify the exact nature of your color deficiency.

  3. Self-Assessment: Pay attention to situations where you struggle with color recognition. For example, do you have trouble telling the difference between red and green traffic lights, or do blue and yellow objects look similar to you? These can offer clues about your color blindness.
