Very excited for you.
So you'll be seeing your GMT in full colour for the very first time? WOW!
Hope it goes well mate.


PS. Don't forget to tell your wife what beautiful coloured eyes, she has!

Both Geri and I are keeping fingers and toes crossed for you on this one.

We who see colors take a lot for granted and probably have a hard time realizing what a problem color blindness can create.

Now I can only wish you will enjoy all the great colors Tudor present.

Wow thanks, everybody! Really appreciate the well wishes.

I'm pretty stoked but cautiously optimistic as well. Enchroma instructs you to wear the glasses in full bright sunshine for at least 30 minutes. They even include a colorful assortment of balloons. Then wear them up to 10 hours over the next 2 weeks. The brain needs to acclimate & reprogram.

Some people are speechless the instant they put them on, others need time to get the full effect. Some [about 25%] never see any positive effect at all, other than everything looks brighter. I already have polarized sunglasses for that.

They have a great return policy and give you 60 days to test them out.

So I'll either be shocked and amazed at what I'll finally be able to see or I'll continue to wear 2 different color socks the rest of my life.

Of course the downside is that you’ll join the rest of us on the hunt for all the green dial variants!
Good luck!

There have been stories of some who see the actual color of their children's eyes for the 1st time. One husband thought his wife was a brunette; turns out she was a redhead. Can't wait to look into my wife's blue/ green eyes.

Dan, my friend, I truly can't wait for you to try them out and sincerely hope they work well for you! Your message about the color of your wife's eyes brought a lump to my throat thinking about the little things we take for granted. Best of luck, buddy, I'll be following this one with you.

As a working musician for over 35 years, I couldn't tell if the flashing traffic light was yellow or red when driving home. Never seen a green light, they look white to me.

Come Monday my Enchroma colorblind correcting glasses arrive. There's a 75% chance these glass will help me see all the shades & [remaining] colors I've been missing my entire life. I'm sure you've seen the videos where people have come to tears when experiencing the full color spectrum for the 1st time. For some, there's no improvement whatsoever. Fingers crossed these will let me see what most others take for granted.

Congrats Dan, hope you can see green in its full glory!

I expect your green dial Daytona soon!

Agreed. This post has us all rooting for you, Dan, and has also made us grateful for the sight that we do have.

Best of luck!

Hey Dan,
Read somewhere the potential of micro dosing of lysergic acid diethylamide.

May be worth asking your GP
At any rate, wishing you success.
Keep us updated.

Cheers

It's all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconveniences we have to deal with.

Really appreciate all the encouragement!!

Just one more day till I see a whole new world [maybe]. Again, I'm girding myself about getting too excited knowing there a chance this won't work.

But today and most of next week full sunshine is predicted, which I'm hoping is a good sign.

Now, what what to wear during the unveiling......
