COLOUR VISION ENHANCEMENT PORTFOLIO
COLORON offers a range of colour vision enhancement lenses, providing more options for individuals with colour blindness. All lenses are suitable for both protan and deutan conditions. We recommend getting a diagnosis with our partner optician before trying the lenses to ensure you experience the maximum potential for enhancement.
The Science Behind the Lens
In our eyes, the red, green, and blue cone receptors are responsible for colour vision, by forwarding their message to the brain. In case of red-green colour vision deficiency, the sensitivity of either the red or green receptors has shifted towards each other along the colour spectrum, so they detect different wavelengths than they should be. This shift causes errors in colour perception and uncertainty in colour recognition.
The purpose of our lenses is to “reposition” the receptor that has shifted sensitivity. By using advanced colour-filter technology, the lenses support a better colour perception by effectively shifting the receptor’s sensitivity back in the correct direction. This is also why colour enhancement lenses are always tinted.
About the Adaptation Time
Whenever you use colour correction solutions – such as filter lenses – your eyes and brain need time to adapt to the new conditions. This is called chromatic (or colour) adaptation and we distinguish between two types.
Short-term adaptation, always necessary when you put on the eyewear (appr. 5 – 10 min.), but the duration tends to shorten over time. Individuals notice an improvement in colour discrimination and perform better in tasks such as the Ishihara (colour bubble) numbers test.
Long-term adaptation involves training the brain to enhance colour identification and maximising your potential, resulting in a better and more precise recognition and naming of colours (2-3 weeks).
COLORON LENS TYPES
Strong Lens
The COLORON Strong lens enables you to navigate and engage in activities with increased confidence and precision, especially where immediate colour discrimination and focused attention are essential—whether reading charts, locating cables at work, identifying coloured objects like cherries on a tree, or playing board games. After the first 5-10 minutes, you will see how significantly you can improve your results at the Ishihara numbers test.
Strong Reflex Lens
By adding a thin layer coating to the COLORON Strong lens, the disturbing red colour disappears. The new coating offers a more radiant and stylish appearance, no one will realize that you are wearing colour enhancement lenses.
Xperience Lens
The COLORON Xperience lens is designed to enhance colour identification. From the very first test, you’ll notice how reds, greens, and oranges come alive and by wearing them consistently (every day for 2–3 weeks), you can unlock your full potential.
From matching outfit colours in the morning, through selecting ripe fruit while shopping, to appreciating colourful natural scenery or sports events – these lenses reveal a world where colours appear more vivid.
Xperience Reflex Lens
The COLORON Xperience lens also comes in a version with a thin-layer coating, where the purple colour changes to a greenish, reflective surface. This new coating has become popular among many tester groups whom we recently introduced it to.
Sun Lens
The COLORON Sun lens is designed to support colour vision in bright sunlight. It combines the Xperience lens with Cat3 sunglasses filtering. Whether you’re enjoying the beach, hiking on a trail, relaxing in the park, or watching the sunset, this is your ideal eyewear. All our sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, prioritising the health of your eyes.
Sun Reflex Lens
Boost your sunny experiences without anyone noticing you’re wearing colour enhancement lenses. The thin-layer coating makes this eyewear trendy and stylish. Ask your optician to add these fashionable lenses to any frame you choose!
One frame, several colour enhancement options
Clip-on frames make it easy and convenient to switch between clip options and find the ideal lens for every task and activity. Choose strong discrimination for maximum confidence or try out new colour experiences, even in sunny conditions. If you need prescription lenses, an optician can add it to the base frame.
