Color Blind...
Years (read: decades) ago my ex-wife and her sisters bought their favorite uncle an expensive TV only to find out he was color blind. I'm finding it hard to recall knowing someone else who was color blind back then. I've met/known blind people and deaf people, but color blind escapes me... until recent.One of the new members of the flying club is officially color blind.
He's got special glasses that highlight certain colors that helps him see differences. It's helping differentiate some of the colors of the spectrum instead of everything being chromatic tones of grey.
I did a blog about people who are color blind and a brand of glasses that bring out colors to help those who are color blind.
Why blog about an old blog?
Yesterday, I was at the dentist getting 2 chipped teeth restored and I know they would be using ultraviolet light to cure the white composite filler. They gave me some dark lenses to wear during the procedure. While I had idle time, I was checking messages on my phone and the lenses were affecting the colors on my phone as I rotated the screen. Very colorful prismatic effects, black letters on a white screen and white letters on a black screen had some reddish and blue edges. That reminded me of the special glasses that allow color blind people to see colors.
I believe the boy in the story has partial colorblindness and the glasses gave him benefits to recognize certain colors.
