They are from a company called Color View. After meeting with an eye doctor and taking the Ishihara test, I managed to get 2 on the plates correct. I put on a pair of these glasses, and then I got about 80% of the plates correct. The difference is absolutely incredible with them on. While the glasses do not correct my vision, they help me to see things that I am not able to see without them. And another thing, when you put them on, you do not automatically know if a color is blue or orange, etc, because you now have to train your eyes to recognize each color again, in essence, you have to learn your colors all over again. The website for these glasses is www.color-view.com. The glasses cost me about 700 Canadian dollars. I have bought a pair of corrective lenses for colorblindness.
