So you say all this but I haven’t seen any science to show that putting a filter over your eyes has any, and I mean any, effect on the your brains transmogrification of light.
As for the rods overlapping or whatever, can you link to a single scientific article that shows this to be the actual cause of CVD?
It’s just that colourblindness can be triggered by medication or diseases. Both of which do not affect your rods and cones. Additionally, putting pressure on the optic nerve can also triggered CVD. Again, the eyes themselves are unaffected.
Lastly, and please look this up, but rods are not able to detect colour or detail (that would be the cones at the centre of the eye). They are triggered by motion: www.allaboutvision.com/eye-care/…/color-vision/
_There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.
Rods help you see in low light and around your central field of view (your peripheral vision). They don’t help you see in color, only in black and white.
Cones are the part of the eye that lets you see colors. They also help you make out fine details and see in bright light._

It sucks that their marketing is shitty, because what they actually do seems pretty clever. I have a pair of enchromas and I enjoy them for what they are - being able to distinguish color differences when I can’t normally is fun.
It’s an overpriced novel experience, probably not worth it but cool if you can afford it.

Shitty, but also really clever in terms of marketing. “Helping people with colour blindness more easily distinguish between certain colours whose wavelengths overlap (but are distinct to those without colour blindness)” is accurate, but not as exciting (or as easily understandable) as “FIXES COLOUR BLINDNESS”.

Fair, I honestly don’t know how else you explain that to most people concisely.
