I asked where he gets the prices and he claims he doesn't know and he doesn't set the prices. I thought it was based on demand or pricy testing equipment but he can get you an appointment the next day if urgent enough but if not he can see you within a month($2000 extra for days other than M, W, or F), and the equipment can't be more than several thousands... He claims that his lenses will allow one to see color as it would appear to someone that does not suffer from the handicap. Also, his lenses will not be either a red or green but could be a number of colors. He charges $400 for any extra lenses not including frames, but contacts or the frameless lenses are included in the $8900. They better be. I believe his lenses probably are superior to the chromagen because he can better customize your tint of lens based on the elaborate tests or your individual deficieny. The tests total around 6 hours. However, I can not commit to a $500 appointment deposit, and sign for $8900 worth of financing without knowing exactly how the end result will improve my color distinctions and to what degree.

And it works in order to make it possible for you and me to tell colours apart and to see new things in our beautiful, colourful world. But it is not intended for cheating tests that are used to tell if you might be a safety hazard doing a certain job. I have never told anyone that the Seekey should be used for that. Good luck with the incredibly expensive lenses. Those could be used for cheating, but not to tell colours. Hi CVD,

No company nor government agency is going to allow you to whip out your handy dandy color filters so you can take a test that measures your color vision. Thats like taking roller skates to your physical fitness running test...not going to happen. Everyone else: Contacts you'll probably get away on with on a test as it's hard to notice the very small color shading over the pupil and you only need one contact. Colored glasses is a long shot but possible if they are lightly shaded and prescription (say your regular ones broke and you only have your outdoor ones available). A color filter wheel they will just laugh and give you a fail. Kenneth Allblom,
