COLOR BLIND TEST
WHY COLOR ADAPTATION IS IMPORTANT?
When first wearing the lenses, the environment may initially appear to have a strong reddish (or other color) tint. For example, white objects may look red instead of truly white.
However, after wearing the lenses for 90–120 seconds, your eyes naturally adjust to this color imbalance. White will then appear as white again, restoring color constancy.
This process is known as chromatic adaptation and plays a crucial role in correcting color blindness.

COLOR VISION DEFICIENCY
Sight is our most important sense. 90% of all information is received by sight, 5% by hearing, 2% by touch, 2% by taste and 1% by smell.
A normal human eye sees three colors: red, green and blue. All other colors are the result of a mixture of varying amounts of red, green, and blue. When a person has Color Vision Deficiency, one or more of the three primary colors is not detected correctly.
The lack of information received due to color blindness, slows down or prevents comprehension. The lack of comprehension creates a slower reaction time to the information and generally lowers a person's quality of life.
8% of men and .5% of women have Color Vision Deficiency (CVD), also known as color blindness.
There are approximately 13.2 million men in the United States with CVD.
