Not too long ago I was privy to a discussion re: colorblindness and the effect it has on utilizing modern sight systems and optics. I was unable to add anything of substance to the conversation, since "that sucks" is obvious. However, while perusing facebook tonight I hit on a little gem, and thought I would share it here, on the off chance it could provide benefit to anyone in the colony.

Enchroma glasses. http://enchroma.com/ From the little I saw, they allow the color blind to see colors. Of course, I encourage some due diligence and research on the veracity of this claim, but is it worth looking into? I think it would be. Imagine not being able to see any of those beautiful red dots some of us so love, and all of a sudden... there it is!

thoughts? experiences?

I have worked with a few people who were Red/Blue color blind. One was a former marine scout sniper and he said that his color blindness made man made camouflage stand out like neon.
That is why most snipers use natural foliage to blend in, doesn't stand out like man made colors do.

As a red/green person of color...blindness, I can't say that I personally see cameo in neon. I see camo as part of the problem, a jumble of near same colors jumbled together. And as a person of color...blindness, the problem is we cant see reds, and associated near hue colors when placed in the middle of greens and browns. And most of us can see colors, we just see them different than the rest of you. So actually, just think about this. Because there are more of 'you' than 'us', 'you' decided 'we' are the ones who are color blind. Maybe it is you that are color blind, not us.

I'm gonna help you start a campaign, and maybe a White House petition to help stop visionism.

interesting.... but I hope I don't come to a side street when you're driving the other way.

I have awesome vision (Thank you G-man), and am thankful; but I know no one that would be in my group that is blessed with DG's plight... unless of course he shows up on my doorstep, then he would be welcomed. sight and clamato deficiencies be damned.
