MISSION & VISION
We aspire to create a world where every colour blind individual receives accurate diagnosis and effective support.
Started at the Tech University
In 1986 two aspiring associate professors, Prof. habil. György Ábrahám PhD, DSc. and dr. habil. Klára Wenzel at the renowned Budapest University of Technology and Economics made it their mission to develop a solution for colour vision deficiency, dedicating their free time in the evenings to this work.
They thoroughly explored the root causes of colour blindness, publishing the first patents for filtering technologies and diagnostic methods in the years that followed. However, it took nearly 30 years before the first filter lenses and eyewear became widely available.
