  It’s not just the eyes, it’s both. I can fuck up your vision through drugs, none of which actually affects the physiology in your eyes.

  The brain is the one that transmogrifies the light and reassembles your world. Remember that the eyes see upside and in reverse. It’s the brain that puts it all together. And that processing matters.

  The tl;dr is that this is complex. And glasses can’t help you. Even if you somehow fixed your cones to see colour, your brain would still be left in the dark. It’s… complicated. More complicated than putting a film over your eyes.

  It’s a scam. And they probably have a long legal disclaimer that protects from simply “doing nothing.”

  This was 100% written and boosted by enchroma. There is just no science to show this is how CVD works and that you can apply some stupid tint on a pair of glasses. Or literally everyone with CVD would be wearing them and we would have essentially found a fucking cure.

  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._

  You could have, if you went to Hustlers University, like I did!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What I don’t get is neither path is very deep, so shining a light would reveal both dead ends. Can’t think of a worse way to go tho. And the fear and panic realizing you’re doomed.

  Totally normal childhood movies 😬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exposing the Color Blind Glasses Scam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I often wondered why colorblind people didn’t all wear them. Makes sense that it’s the brain transmogrifying light incorrectly, so doesn’t matter what tint you put on a pair of glasses, it won’t do squat.

  Really solid watch tho!

  Yeah what made the universe great was Miller really fleshed it out, especially the last film. From unique colloquialisms set in that tone, to all the designs and “brutality” of the wasteland.

  This looks like a shitty money grab.

  I dunno, they seem to always find innovative ways to screw, well, everyone.

  Wait…

  Pioneeers in the field 🙃

  Right! Google acting like they are losing billions a month due to adblockers when in reality it’s like 2% of their total profits and they STILL foaming at the mouth.

  So much awful. Little girl dead. And they get to relive the event over and over because media couldn’t let it go. And still can’t?

  The video no one needed to see.

  My friend worked at Best Buy corporate some ten years ago. He got the corporate discount at stores so we went to check it out. Most of the big name stuff had almost nothing. So their margins were pretty thin there (not to say those companies couldn’t sell their products for less just that BB wasn’t getting most of your cash).

  But for their in-house stuff like anything Insignia, the cost of a $20 HDMI cable went to $4. And that was a discount so BB was still making something.

  I’ve started to become super jaded about discounts, especially at grocery stores because now I’m not looking at it like “wow I’m saving on eggs” but rather “so you’re probably overstocked and want me to bail you out or you’ll lose a shit on of profits if these go bad”.
