We’ve blogged about the new technology that allows people who are color-blind to see in color for the first time. Now these special glasses are available through optometrists. After the break is an excerpt and a link to an article recounting the experiences of people with red-green color-blindness, who usually see both colors as a muddied brown, now being able to perceive those colors.
Favorite line from the story:
“I’ve heard a lot about purple,” Robison said before he tried his new glasses.
And after?
“It was everything I wanted it to be.”
