Old news. And incorrect news when Enchroma is presented properly.
Enchroma’s proprietary filter does not fix or correct color deficiency, aka blindness.
What it does do is help the eye’s red-green color receptors fire in a manner that mimics how “normal” colorvision receptors work, and thereby will increase the saturation of anything greater than low saturation colors.
Enchroma enhances the color experience, not unlike any sunglass that claims the same, although the amount and degree varies.
It does not increase or restore color discrimination, which is what any traditional evaluation modality is testing for.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it helps.
I'm not straining under the illusion that Enchroma et al can provide normal color vision.
I think what I remember we talked about here (I should look it up) is that they either a.) "dumb down" the rest of the spectrum relative to the weaker areas, or
b.) put some kind of absorbtive bumper rails on the bandwidths so there's less color confusion...(?)
"Enhancing the color experience" is just markety fluff nonsense. I would like to understand it fully. But color vision is complex, man.
I will say Safilo's Chroma Pop was a Chroma Flop when I put them on. Sure, they were nice and all...
ChromaPop is indeed silly marketing fluff to sell more lenses. I've never seen, nor even heard of a single case where any human being's actual visual acuity, or measured color perception was in any way truly, measurably, meaningfully improved.
But the marketing sells lenses for Safilo, science be damned, so... *shrug*??
