MISSION & VISION
We are here to support red-green colour blind individuals to live their life more confidently. Our continuous efforts lead to a world where everyone affected by colour vision deficiencies is accurately diagnosed and effectively supported.
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.
