Enchroma Inc

Enchroma Inc is the color-vision-correction company, and that single idea gives it a very clear identity: glasses aimed at helping some people distinguish certain colors more easily. By our assessment, its best-known strength is that it turns a niche accessibility problem into a consumer product with a simple form factor. The honest limit is also built in, because these glasses are not a cure for color blindness and do not work as a universal fix for every type of color-vision difference. In practice, they are the sort of thing people try with curiosity and cautious expectations, since the effect depends on the person and the kind of color deficiency involved. Enchroma sits in a small corner of vision products, closer to specialty aid than to ordinary eyewear. It is worth reaching for when the goal is a specific assist for color perception, and not when the goal is normal prescription glasses or a broad medical solution.
