To n.d.mcburnett:
I'm posting this to the net only because I can't figure out the path
name to mail you this response.
In response to your response, I'm a dutan. I have trouble
with the red-green part of the spectrum. However I also have
trouble with brown-green-red distinguishing.
1) I never got a headache from the lense that I know of and I
didn't have any "wandering eye" problems.
2) I use a terminal alot and I'm glad you brought that up. Most
of the time I use a Tektronix 4051. With the lense on, the
printing looked somewhat lit up or fluorescent. When I stopped
wearing it I was surprised at the difference. I thought that
what I had been seeing was normal.
3) I haven't thought about using any other type of tinted lense.
I guess I'll continue to live not knowing what colors things are
supposed to be. However I think that we are members of a
genetically superior group. Who else could have an object change
colors right before their eyes when going by it. It's like a
visual doppler effect.
4) A word of warning if you get the lense. Be extremely careful
when putting it in and removing it. I scratched mine when I
popped it out and it went flying. Also you shouldn't fall asleep
with it in, it can damage your eye.
5) As you must have discovered by now, having a color vision
problem can be entertaining. People always enjoy laughing at you
when you can't tell the color of something.
