SAVANNAH SEES FULL COLOR FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH ENCHROMA COLORBLIND GLASSES

I found out I was colorblind when I was 7 years old. We always knew my dad was colorblind, but one day my mom and dad sat down at the kitchen table to have him take the colorblind test, just for fun. The tests are made up of images or numbers shown in circular clusters of colored dots. People who are colorblind are not able to see the images or numbers. I was in the other room, and my mom called to me saying, "Savannah! Dad can't see the sailboat!" I walked into the kitchen, looked at the test and said, "What sailboat?" Shortly after, I visited my Ophthalmologist. He confirmed that I was, in fact, colorblind. This was interesting because only .04% of girls are colorblind. From that moment on, I became fascinated with eyes. Now, as a college student at the University of Oklahoma, my major is Biology Pre-Med. I hope to be an Ophthalmologist one day. Part of me likes being a colorblind girl because it is so rare, and I always have a good fun fact for ice breaker games; however, sometimes it is sad that I cannot see the world in the same way everyone else can. For example, I could only see yellow and blue in a rainbow, and missed out on many of the beautiful colors of fall leaves and spring flowers. For many years I have been looking into buying a pair of these Enchroma colorblind glasses. I finally received them as a gift on my 20th birthday. The next day, my family and I drove to downtown Oklahoma City to an area with many colorful walls so that I could try on the glasses. This is a video of my reaction and my father's reaction.
