This didn't work for me, absolutely no difference, so I returned them. There should have been at least some difference.

We bought these as a surprise gift for a family member. We sneakily asked him some questions about his color blindness ahead of time so we knew what to order. We surprised him with them, and the results were INSTANT! He’s been blown away with a whole new world of color with new shades of reds, greens, purples and oranges all affected by his color-blindness. He was absolutely amazed and said that everyone needs to know about these glasses. When I told him the story about Pilestone and the heart behind the company he said “Bless them!” These glasses are a once in a lifetime gift. There’s nothing quite like being with someone you love and watch them see new colors for the first time.

These glasses work, reds pop for me. I prefer the Enchroma, but I use the more because of the clip on as wear glasses with progressive lenses. For me, it took some time before seeing a difference. Everyone with coloblindness is different, with my brother, both kind of Enchroma’s and these did nothing for him.

Made no difference for hubby. All colors are the same. Not worth money I spent. Hubby only sees shades of blue.

These glasses do not correct color blindness. I tried these and they do not work.

I bought these for my 12 year old nephew who’s colorblind. He wears them everywhere now, including school. Last month the science teacher did an experiment that involved colors. He told the teacher he’s colorblind so she gave him another assignment. When he came in with these the next month the teacher repeated the experiment with the colors just so he could see the colors that everyone else saw! She seemed just as excited for him. He says these glasses are life changing! Oh and that he can see his jeans aren’t purple! Lol

Our son is red/green deficient and the glasses did not work for him at all. It was a huge let down on Christmas morning. We were hoping to see some emotion from him, but he only said they made things darker. Even outdoors they did not add color, only darkened things for him. We are hoping to get a full refund, or we will be editing this review to give it less stars. They are made and packaged nicely.

Pilestone Colorblind Correcting Glasses are really great! Take the test and be sure to get the right model. Here's my brief testimony: First off, Pilestone technology is better than EnChroma. I've owned both. I've suffered from Red/Green deficiency for my whole life without recourse. I had the EnChroma and they worked alright. But I also have prescription lenses with progressive bifocals. Combining everything in one lens can be tricky. I'm sure it works for some, but the Pilestone Clip-On solves a lot of challenges. When I first ordered the Pilestone version it was the TP-018. They worked, but I wanted a more prominent color boost. I sent the TP-018 back and ordered the TP-029. WOW!!! That made a world of difference. My condition is severe... Everything popped and it made a tremendous change. Keep in mind that there is an adjustment time. When you first place the lenses on, you will perceive a red hue over everything. Then within about 3 minutes or less, everything begins to re-balance. That's when you can see the richness of the everything. Flip the clip-on up, everything goes to a "sepia" look. Flip back down, then you see the richness of everything! Don't expect the lenses to correct the error that is detected from the color-blind test. You're still not going to see the numbers inside the circles clearly. HOWEVER, the world around you will become energized as you view things through the lenses. As you can see from my uploaded photo, I wore these Clip-Ons to Israel and the whole landscape was very beautiful. Get these glasses with a reasonable expectation of seeing what you have missed for so long... You will not be sorry! Enjoy the beauty!!! Pilestone is Highly recommended!!!
