Glasses That Could Help the Color Blind to See Properly

American researchers have developed a new set of glasses that could help people suffering from color blindness to see properly. The purple lenses enhance the red and green colors that are not seen properly in color blindness.

One tester of the Oxy-Iso lenses, a British academic, has told how he "shivered with excitement" after putting on the 190-pound glasses for the first time.

Eye Pain - Symptom Evaluation
Eye pain usually follows trauma, eye infection or inflammation of the eye and the surrounding structures. The cause of eye pain can be diagnosed based on the type of pain and associated symptoms.

Dr Daniel Bor, of the University of Sussex, said: "The main thing I have problems with is when people use red and green on graphs in seminars and I can't tell the difference between them."

Putting on the glasses for the first time, he said that it was really quite an exciting moment.

He was with his daughter in the gym and suddenly her lips stood out. She was wearing a red-orange jumper and suddenly it stood out from the surroundings, he said.

Eye lid problems are one of the commonest complaints with which a patient presents to an eye doctor. Commonest among them being: blepharitis, chalazion and stye.

The glasses, which were originally developed for medical use, are the brainchild of US scientist Mark Changizi.

The lenses filter out bands of light that interfere with the ability to distinguish various shades of red and green.

Eye Twitching - Blepharospasm - Causes, symptoms, diagnosis and Treatment
Uncontrolled muscle twitching occurs in this condition, though benign it may need further investigation and sometimes an injection of Botox can cures it.

The glasses only work for red-green colour blindness. This is the most common form and although rare in women, it affects up to 8 percent of men.

The glasses are already available. However, while they enhance perception of reds and greens, they hamper the ability to distinguish yellows and blues.
