EnChroma FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is EnChroma?

EnChroma is a company that creates glasses designed to help people with color blindness perceive colors more vividly and accurately.

2. How do EnChroma glasses work?

EnChroma lenses use multinotch optical filters that remove specific wavelengths of light, allowing the eyes to better distinguish between red and green hues — the colors most commonly confused by people with color blindness.

3. Who can benefit from EnChroma glasses?

EnChroma glasses are primarily designed for individuals with red-green color vision deficiency (Deutan or Protan type). They may not be effective for people with total color blindness or blue-yellow color vision deficiency.

4. Can EnChroma glasses cure color blindness?

No. EnChroma glasses do not “cure” color blindness — they enhance color perception by helping the brain separate overlapping color signals. The effect only lasts while wearing the glasses.

5. Are EnChroma glasses safe for everyday use?

Yes. EnChroma glasses are safe for daily wear, including outdoor and indoor use. They also offer UV protection in outdoor models.

Some users notice a difference immediately, while others may need a few minutes or up to a few days for their brains to adjust to the new way of seeing colors.

7. Where can I buy EnChroma glasses?

You can purchase authentic EnChroma glasses directly from the official EnChroma website, or from authorized retailers and optometrists. Some online stores and cashback platforms (like Kickbackly) also offer discounts and rebates.

8. Can I return EnChroma glasses if they don’t work for me?

Yes. EnChroma offers a 60-day money-back guarantee so users can try the glasses risk-free and return them if they are not satisfied.

9. Does EnChroma make prescription lenses?

Yes. EnChroma provides prescription versions of their color-enhancing lenses, available for both eyeglasses and sunglasses.

10. How much do EnChroma glasses cost?
