EnChroma launches world’s first safety glasses for people with colour blindness
EnChroma, Inc. – creators of glasses for colour blindness have introduced the first safety glasses for an estimated 350 million people in the world who are colour blind. The new line of EnChroma Safety Glasses are designed to help people with red-green colour blindness overcome daily frustrations and obstacles in the workplace related to correctly identifying and interpreting colours.
How will this affect people in the workplace?
“Those with colour vision deficiencies can struggle to comprehend colourful information at work which can lead to frustration, lost productivity, and potential safety issues,” said Erik Ritchie, CEO of EnChroma. “EnChroma safety glasses enable the colour blind to better see brightly coloured warning signs and labels while reducing the everyday difficulties they experience in fields ranging from landscaping and construction to biosciences and advanced manufacturing.”
