Creating Daltonism Glasses: Is it Possible?

  • Thread starter SAZAR

In summary, there is a possibility to create a coating or material for glass that would allow for crystal clear, crisp-sharp, black & white vision when used as lenses in glasses. This would provide a 3D movie-like experience, especially for those with color blindness. The material would block certain wavelengths of light and only pass white light, potentially using phosphorous or battery assistance. The goal is for the material to be simple and provide a different viewing experience when moving the eyes, rather than just a screen-like image. The primary idea is for the material to work on its own without the need for batteries.

Hmm... I don't know weither this is a physics question (optics, photons, etc.), or is it a chemistry question... probably both.

: Is it possible to to make some coating for glass or the glass material itself that would allow someone to see in crystal clear crisp-sharp black&white - when lenses on glasses are made using such matterials? (just for the feeling; - daltonism glasses). You would actually feel like you're in some movie from '30s (in 3D, though).

(maybe some material that doesn't actually pass light, but it blocks light - absorbs different wavelenghts of light (or even a version that does that only with infra-red) and then passes white light on the other side in the direction of the original light; maybe some phosphorous matterial or something; maybe even battery assisted, but imperative is to be quite simple and to be able to see differently when you move your eyes across the surface of the lense - not just a screen picture like on TV)

Is it possible at all?!
...And why?


...Or the version with above mentioned "screen picture" (so it takes light only directly in front of it). Any suggestion...

(the primar idea is to make matterial that works in such way - without batteries etc. - just the matterial itself (natural, analog))

Hello!..

1. Can Daltonism glasses actually improve color vision for people with color blindness?

Yes, Daltonism glasses, also known as color blind glasses, can improve color vision for people with certain types of color blindness. They work by filtering out specific wavelengths of light that cause confusion for individuals with color blindness, allowing them to see a wider range of colors.

2. How do Daltonism glasses work?

Daltonism glasses use special filters that selectively block out certain wavelengths of light. This helps to balance the colors that individuals with color blindness struggle to differentiate, making it easier for them to see a wider range of colors.

3. Are Daltonism glasses effective for all types of color blindness?

No, Daltonism glasses are not effective for all types of color blindness. They are most effective for individuals with red-green color blindness, which is the most common type. They may not be as effective for other types of color blindness, such as blue-yellow color blindness.

4. Are Daltonism glasses a permanent solution for color blindness?

No, Daltonism glasses are not a permanent solution for color blindness. They provide temporary relief by enhancing color vision while the glasses are being worn. The effect wears off once the glasses are removed.

5. Are there any potential side effects of using Daltonism glasses?

There are no known serious side effects of using Daltonism glasses. However, some individuals may experience mild discomfort or dizziness when first wearing the glasses. It is important to consult with an eye doctor before using Daltonism glasses to ensure they are safe for your specific condition.
