        I call bullshit on this. As a colour blind person, I don’t see colour as most people do but I do see colour. To insinuate that this person has never seen anything but in black and white and that these ‘magical’ glasses all of a sudden make him see colour is bogus. (CDN ‘colour’)

        It takes 10 minutes and then the change is dramatically noticed; it’s not instantaneous. I’m super color blind and tried it. It’s really amazing, but you look silly with dark glasses all the time and they’re expensive. I’ll stick with blues and yellows, the rest are a mystery.
