One moment that I still remember with delight in the enchroma video is how Adam first really 'saw' Steph's eyes. It's so wholesome and adorable, and the first time I saw it, I almost started to cry... So, despite the whole scam/controversy thingy, we at the very least got one of the most wholesome moments on doodle date ever out of it!
I remember Bob Ross did an oil painting all in shades of black/white/gray because someone wrote into the show saying they wanted to be an artist, but they were colorblind. So Bob specifically painted that just for that person! 😇 He was so like y'all! Kind and wholesome, and generous to others! I am glad y'all are around!🩶🖤🤍🩶🖤🤍✏️✒️🖋🖊🖌🖍
The absolute cheek of Enchroma refusing to send you the glasses omg. Not only is it weird cuz they had no problem sending them to others for free but that's so shady to me! At least you got some use out of them in the end.
In addition to your eyes, it could be that your brain gets tired after a couple of hours as well.. Like it gets overloaded with information it isn't used to dealing with, for the length of time you wear them.. if that makes sense.
This could totally be a reaction as well after long periods of use!

I still remember watching that first video many years ago, and it was my introduction to the channel actually. I remember just how sweet the dynamic of your relationship was (and still is) and i was drawn to it. When the scam video popped up i was immediately invested cause I knew you guys had bought those stupid expensive glasses with your own money, as a fellow freelance artist/graphic designer, I can imagine just how ripped off you must've felt. Anyway, if you guys actually try and make your own enchroma glasses with red film I'll definitely be up to watch it.
300 pounds! Not even prescription glasses are that much. lol. I paid 175 pound for my last pair of prescription glasses with all the trimmings that go with the lenses. Great honest review you two 😀
My winter sports goggles are tinted (pink) and polarized, and they do change the way my brain sees colours. I'm typically colour sighted, and for me when I put those pink polarized goggles on everything is pink tinted for about 10-15 minutes until my brain adjusts, and at some point 10-15 minutes in white is white again, blue is blue, etc. Reds remain shifted to the point that warm/dark oranges and bright reds look exactly the same. My husband and his brothers in law all have Honda ATVs, two of which are red and one is orange. I cannot tell the difference in the colours while wearing those goggles, no matter how long I wear them. So yes, tinted glasses will change absolutely will change colour perception temporarily while wearing them.
My Dad and uncle are both colorblind (red-green). He was an architect. It was funny how close to 40% of the architects and interior designers at the firm he worked were also colorblind.
I always thought that it was very clear from your videos exactly how they worked/didn't work. The problem is always greed and spreading misinformation essentially just to fill their own pockets
Came here to basically say the same thing. I saw the big enchroma expose when it dropped, and I was thinking the whole time that Steph and Adam had explained how the glasses help in some situations better than enchroma and other companies. I think the biggest take away from the TH-cam video exposing colorblind glasses were the deceptive marketing practices and the junk science behind it that justified the really high price for simply tinted glasses. Kudos to Steph and Adam for addressing this and driving home how the glasses work and don't work, it's something the companies should've done from the beginning and shouldn't be on the consumer. And also for talking with kindness and vulnerability about sort of being taken advantage of by the high price, even if they "work properly" for Adam, and recognizing that others suffered more if they didn't work for them at all. Definitely a needed perspective on this topic.
I had no idea that it’s said colorblind people can see better in the dark. Maybe it has to do with what Steph said earlier where colorblind people’s eyes can detect those shade differences. I did want to say though, Steph if you have astigmatism then that’s probably why your vision isn’t great in the dark. I have astigmatism and I definitely struggle to see in the dark, the adjustment time from light to dark takes a second too
As someone that is a long time viewer off this channel and also knows Adam a bit, I can say that he has had a genuine response to the glasses although he probably felt more inclined to be positive in reviewing them and giving them the benefit of the doubt he gave it a honest shot and since he really is someone that has trained his sight in a way to see minuscule differences despite his colour-blindness the glasses where able to help a little. I think you can see it well with how he sees colours that have really minuscule saturation like his watered down watercolours. It will be fun to se if you can replicate the same kind of effect with a red film LOL just sad to see that some ppl are accusing you of giving a false reaction despite you putting your own money into it . Think it is so cool that you are addressing this and also giving an update on how the experience has been.
This makes total sense. The glasses don’t have to completely cure color blindness to “work”. My feet are paralyzed, except I can feel the inner arches and just barely feel the big toes. But if I were to take some new medicine and my big toes suddenly started moving, I’d say the medicine worked, even if the rest of my feet were still completely paralyzed. Better usability is still a cure, even if it’s not a complete cure.
I think you guys are literally the only TH-camrs I trust completely to be honest about products. Thank you for giving us a break from ppl who just want money and also for always being so open and genuine. I’ve been watching since I was in 6th grade and now I’m off to university (which is insane), but in those years I always come back because you’re a safe space and always feel so honest and kind. I cannot express how much I appreciate you 😿❣️ You guys deserve the world 💫
Oh gosh thank you so much for this!! It's thanks to the support from kind souls like you we can continue to create for everyone ❤️ good luck on your university adventure as well we will both be rooting for you!
My dad got enchroma glasses and when realized that they didn’t work for him, he tried to return them but he got told that it would cost $200 to return them
Makes me also think about the video on "How to cook that" channel, (I have not watched the other yet) but I hate when a company promises 1 thing, but when you actually get the product it is totally different. Happy you are telling the tea so more people are aware of what they are going to get into if they ever wish to buy the glasses for themselves.
Our experience with them was a positive one but some of the things they're doing we just don't agree with so we hope this helps clear things up a lil bit! ❤️
Thank you for your honest review! As someone who has quite an eye for colour ( good at spotting the 1 slightly different shade in a group of identical ones, I find it so hard to comprehend colour-blindness, so it was very interesting to see the Crayola felt tips as someone with colour-blindness would.
I always loved that colorblind video, especially the part with the leaves. It really inspired me when it came to writing color blind characters and how they see the world. You’ve always been so cool :]
Omg!!! I have been wondering what your take on this was for a hot minute. I've seen your old videos about the glasses but now I keep seeing videos talking about how they might be a scam and my curiousity was through the roof. Having a lousy-no-good-rotten-yucky-awful day and seeing a new video from y'all has given me something to smile about. Thanks!
I know this is a little different from the normal stuff we'd make and put on here but because it's one of our most popular videos we really wanted to help clear the air as well ❤️
I am glad to see you guys make this video. Not because I felt like you had been lying this whole time or anything but because several people in my feed recently have decided to jump on the “enchroma is a scam” train and every time it came up I was curious what your take was on it all. Because yeah, a lot of the people I was seeing talking about it were “color-typical” lol. On a similar note, there are glasses made for mushroom foraging that are basically a colored filter meant to help your eyes more easily distinguish mushrooms (specifically, morels if I’m correct) from amongst foliage and shadows. I think the general consensus is that they do help mushrooms stand out more and can help reduce eye strain but most foragers don’t really use them. Which just goes to show that simple colored filters CAN make a difference in how we perceive colors. It is nice to see you discuss the pricing and marketing of it all. Because I think the issue here isn’t really the product because as you say it works perfectly fine as an aid. The issue is more so the way it was sold and advertised. Far too many videos were faked which makes it difficult for people to get a realistic perspective on what to expect. The wording on their website is completely unrealistic and yeah it never should have been proposed as a way to help people with greyscale vision. The level of research you guys did into this before making your purchase is definitely not characteristic of the level of research an average person can or will do. And I think that functionally makes it a scam. Which honestly is so unfortunate considering that, again, they DO have a function. Never doubted you, I always 100% trust your well thought out reviews. Enjoyed your video as always!
I haven't seen the MegaLag video, but I did see the one by Ann Reardon (How to Cook That is her channel, but she does debunking too). She included a brief clip of you. What I gathered from that is that those glasses may help colorblind people distinguish certain tricky colors... to the detriment of the ones they know. It's very interesting to hear your take on this.
i was actually thinking about your old videos on this when I saw the other videos, so I was really plesently surprised seeing this update on it! thanks for such a thoughtful commentary
Ooh, I have been wondering if we'd get an update from you on the enchroma glasses! I saw all the reviews early on that had obviously been sent for free or sponsored, and obviously exaggerated the effects. I trust you both to give us the real tea!
HAHA if only we could of got sent them at all 😂 But yes, we pride ourselves on being honest with you guys, with these and all the art supplies we review too ❤️
Hullo U2! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! I do remember watching your colorblind glasses video and did not think you were throwing excessive “shade” on them! You guys are one of the most honest and open creators on TH-cam! Just my opinion and as I see that I am not alone, I feel completely justified saying it again! Thank you and Please keep creating your amazing videos!
I was under the impression that they never claimed that they could improve all types of color blindness. I thought they always said that it only helped with certain types. On their current website it says that “can improve color vision for those with red-green color blindness”. Does not sound like they ever claimed they could help people that could see no colors ar all for example.
Watching this to catch up on y’all before I have to leave for practice. My dad is color blind, so hearing his thoughts about my art (I have a pretty colorful style) has always been an interesting perspective. Best of luck from a color typical 💛💙
Doodle date with the hard hitting titles‼️‼️‼️i literally didn't know this was even a drama, i hope this hasnt inadvertently effected you because of your experience with the glasses
The glasses I saw you wear them in got me into Doodle Date I have tritanomaly (Blue and Yellow) I was like some one else who does art who has color blind issues i was super excited. Really happy I came across you guys
I'd be kind of interested to see Adam try different colours over some glasses to see if it affected the contrast at all! It's so sucky that it's effectively just a red filter.
When I see the protanopia filter on those crayola markers I totally get how Adam gets pink and light blue confused. Oh also I wonder if part of the headache comes from the glasses having a tint- it might cause your pupils to dilate and let in more light, but doesn't protect from UV like sunglasses would. My mom actually in college did a study on sunglasses and some of them didn't actually have any UV protection so they were actually hurting your eyes by making them dilate but not blocking the harmful light.
If the glasses boost some colours a bit they might be very useful for artists (fewer colours would look exactly the same), even though they might be useless for others who don't need that? :) My guess is that the reason your eyes hurt from wearing them too long could be because they're not personally tailored to your eyes like normal glasses would be, so your eyes get exhausted trying to see though them. And normally you also get help tweaking the things that go behind your ears too when you buy glasses so that they sit comfortably (except when wearing a headset of course), but buying online they'll just be the same shape and size for everyone.
i dont have much to add to the drama discussion bc i was blown away by the guinea pigs with the protanopia filter 😳 Adam sees the pigs so differently! i feel like im biased to animals that have a certain color or pattern, like when youre picking out one to take home. i think it's so sweet Adam loves the pigs just as much as Steph but he sees them so differently 💕 itd be interesting for him to use the glasses to pick out the difference between the two pictures
The video with you guys trying on the colorblind glasses was actually the first video that got me introduced to your channel! And I think you both were doing a good job and being very upfront about what you thought about the glasses. So while it's disappointing to learn that those glasses were basically a scam (at least for the prices they were sold at and for how they were advertised), I am still so glad that video brought me to you. Both of you are so kind and sweet and I love watching your videos every week! I don't comment as much as I would like but I'd like to comment this time to just say; thank you so much for this week's video! You guys are awesome and I hope you both will have a wonderful coming week! I also like to mention that I really like the decorated chains for your glasses Steff! It's such a vibe and I love how colorful they are, almost makes me wish I had my own glasses so I could do the same! XD Keep being awesome guys and I hope to see you next week! 👍
Thanks so much for this video. When I saw the scam video, I immediately thought of you guys and wanted to hear your perspective. It was your glasses video that first brought me to the channel, and despite the glasses being scammy I'm glad it brought me here! :) I would love to see you now make your own DIY glasses and test them against the enchromas.
Adam, the Tonal Superhero. You’ll never stub your toe in the dark, again. I really enjoyed seeing your perspectives on this, and hearing your comparisons, sometimes explaining things is a struggle so when two people can analyze and put into words their experiences and how they understand things it helps a lot with figuring it out for yourself. I look forward to your next video and art stream, and wish you both the best.
I can relate because my eye sight has changed. I've always had to wear glasses, but my sight is not as good as it was when I was younger. I used to be able to read all but the last couple of rows of letters on the sight test and I need magnifiers to read small print now. I was looking at hands free ones for reading, computer screens and for sewing and the best ones are very expensive. I don't see why folks should have to spend a lot to aid their vision. It has changed because of ageing (which it does) and because I am diabetic. I've been listening to audio books for about a year and I've started building up an audiobook library - I decided to do it now while my sight isn't too bad.
Hello guys ! It's nice that you took the time to clear things up about those glasses. I didn't know about the recent news concerning them and it's sad to know that it was mostly a scam. At least I will never forget how happy adam was the first the glasses "worked" for him. I would definitely love to see if you could experience the same effect using glasses with red filters in another video ! Have a nice day !
Oh for sure! They helped me see colours more clearly than I otherwise would and the fact I got to see Steph's eyes so vibrantly will always be an amazing memory!
Thank you for explaining color blindness in depth. There were a lot of things I didn´t know about that. Also: cool that Adam has a superpower: night vision! And also: can we all appreciate Stephs gorgeous beaded glasses chain? 🥰
Just realised ur first vid re these glasses, was 6yrs ago, how on earth was it 6 yrs ago, doesn't feel like it's been 6 yrs since that video. Love your videos.
I still think if you wear them for a 45 minute coloring session and it helps distinguish that there’s a difference between one color and another it still does something. Idk.
The how to cook that video did show that it can help but that the videos of purple sobbing over sunsets were clearly overreacting. The cure vs aids differentiation is something a lot of people (and marketing departments) don't seem to understand. My stick aids my balance but it hasn't fixed the underlying caused. Competely unrelated have you guys been to £land recently? They've got a whole load of awesome looking art things. I got some surprisingly good actual brush makers.
I’m not colorblind, but when I wear my normal glasses for to long I get headaches & migraines. So it might not just be the colorblind glasses giving you headaches, maybe your eyes just need a rest? It may just be your body asking for a break.
My dad is red-green colorblind and I am glad I could never afford the glasses from him, because I just don't think he'd get much use out of them- but then, he's also lived his whole life with it an adapted. He likes to forage for wild food like mushrooms and berries which is the type of thing where you need to know shades of browns and purple mushrooms and red or green berries. It does seem to have an interesting potential for artists, I think that the creator of the video criticizing them was definitely frustrated because as he said, he was already a long-time graphic designer and knew how to modify his process to match sighted vision more accurately. Perhaps there is a place for tinted glasses for people who are learning to adapt their colorblindness to industry standards or something.
It might be useful to have your own system when you get an art supply you take a black Sharpie and put a dot on anything red or pink, “x” on anything green… etc
I don't know what is available to you guys, but I just want to mention that you might want to look into hobby lobby if you shop there. The owners are a specific type of christian and use it as justification to do things like withhold access to birth control through their employee medical insurance. The owners were also involved in antiquity theft.
Thank you for this video. I did watch both of you with the enchroma videos at the time you posted. Thank you for explaining why you don't wear them all the time, Adam. It makes perfect sense.
I thought you were very clear in the videos you made about how they worked and to what extent. Not a miracle but an aid that help a bit in some situations. You’ve nothing to worry about. Unfortunately you can’t control what your viewers hear, you can only control what you say. Bizarrely these are not always the same.
Late to the game but- Really insightful video! I love how you are always honest about your experiences with the product/item you're discussing, and simultaneously stay positive or joke around (where applicable) 💙 Ugh it's horrible to hear that the company allegedly made these from cheap materials and yet they cost that much! Not only that but advertised to the wrong audience and made so many people hopeful 😠 I can only hope they "DO BETTER" in the future
I wonder if your eyes need to learn to adjust to the glasses? i know when I had to have special shoe inserts, I had to start out by wearing them for a short period every day and slowly work my way up to all day. When my feet were adjusting, if I wore them longer than my doc recommended, my feet were very painful. I loved what you said to the company who created the glasses - "Do Better". LOL That is so perfect and so true!
Has anyone heard of Dyslexia reading glasses? It feel like the same concept where they use a certain tint to help focus better and the letters don't "move" as much, when i fist heard of it i thought it sounded amazing but its hard to find a good amount of people who can talk about their experience with them.
Wait, but in a digital color picker wouldn't you be able to tell grey and pink apart from where they are on the color picker? Like, you generally only get grey towards the bottom of the picker, no? The more up you go, the more pink it gets. I don't do digital art, so maybe I'm wrong and those color pickers are different 😅
I mean don't eyes hurt when you use normal glasses for the first time also? Like Steff when you got your glasses didn't it take weeks to adjust? Many if Adam had them on for longer it would stop hurting and in the long run many the eyes would adapt even better and see more colors? Many you guys should mail enchroma and ask how it's suppose to work like are people only suppose to use them short periods of time like a fun thing or are they meant to be worn like normal glasses and it gets some time to get used to them? Because I think they would work better if you've had them for a few weeks just like normal glasses. Is there any difference between the inside and outside ones when it comes to hurting?
I think companies like Enchroma can take advantage of people seeking help with colour blindness because colour blindness receives no support generally by society. It isn't like short- or far-sightedness where prescription glasses are widely available (although still so expensive!!!) and it isn't routinely screened for. It seems so arbitrary which conditions are deemed worthy of being supported or not.
Protopia isn't that the one when you see mostly blue yellow and beach? 😊 Also I remember seeing your enchroma videos I always wiched for you Adam to make more videos using them it was funny.
You could totally do a video where you make your own glasses with the red film from the craft store. You could buy cheap sunglasses, use the film in the frames and bedazzle them or something crafty to design your own.
Totally love you guys for always going out of your way to buy products with your own coin 🪙. Especially with everything yall have been through. And your always honest about them to a fault! Love yall stay safe!
One moment that I still remember with delight in the enchroma video is how Adam first really 'saw' Steph's eyes.
It's so wholesome and adorable, and the first time I saw it, I almost started to cry...
So, despite the whole scam/controversy thingy, we at the very least got one of the most wholesome moments on doodle date ever out of it!
Oh for sure! Regardless I will always cherish that moment because that really did seem like magic to me ❤️
My favorite part was when they walked by the bush and he noticed that some of the leaves were red and others were green. It was just so sweet!
I remember Bob Ross did an oil painting all in shades of black/white/gray because someone wrote into the show saying they wanted to be an artist, but they were colorblind.

Yes, I've seen that one! It was so kind. And the painting was very pretty.
The absolute cheek of Enchroma refusing to send you the glasses omg. Not only is it weird cuz they had no problem sending them to others for free but that's so shady to me! At least you got some use out of them in the end.
TWICE TOO LOL I guess in some ways it was a blessing in disguise
because they knew doodle date are honest and will never dupe their audience. Hey are reliable.
Probably because they'd rather give them away to people who aren't even colour blind
In addition to your eyes, it could be that your brain gets tired after a couple of hours as well.. Like it gets overloaded with information it isn't used to dealing with, for the length of time you wear them.. if that makes sense.

HAHA now that would be cool if we crafted them and they actually worked 🤣 Thank you for such a kind comment as well, we both really appreciate that ❤️
@@DoodleDateyou could try use acetate sheets for the lenses! They come in all sorts of colours, including red
300 pounds! Not even prescription glasses are that much. lol. I paid 175 pound for my last pair of prescription glasses with all the trimmings that go with the lenses. Great honest review you two 😀
They're super pricey to be sure which is another reason why we want everyone to know exactly how they work and how well too

Dang, that makes so much sense! I have “mild” astigmatism but I struggle to adjust from light to dark and also to see at night.
I just learned something about myself.
As someone that is a long time viewer off this channel and also knows Adam a bit, I can say that he has had a genuine response to the glasses although he probably felt more inclined to be positive in reviewing them and giving them the benefit of the doubt he gave it a honest shot and since he really is someone that has trained his sight in a way to see minuscule differences despite his colour-blindness the glasses where able to help a little.

I was at art school with a guy that was totally colour blind, only grey, and did amazing artwork. I would say to anyone, never give up.

When I got new glasses that had a strong correction to my vision, my eyes hurt at the start before I got used to them.
My dad got enchroma glasses and when realized that they didn’t work for him, he tried to return them but he got told that it would cost $200 to return them

PLEASE I WANNA SEE YOUR DIY COLORBLIND GLASSES SO BAD!! I've been begging you guys to make more colorblind content!
LOL well we will see what we can do 👀
Thank you for your honest review! As someone who has quite an eye for colour ( good at spotting the 1 slightly different shade in a group of identical ones, I find it so hard to comprehend colour-blindness, so it was very interesting to see the Crayola felt tips as someone with colour-blindness would.

I always loved that colorblind video, especially the part with the leaves. It really inspired me when it came to writing color blind characters and how they see the world. You’ve always been so cool :]
My mom is completely colorblind and even tells people she can only see in black and white. People still recommend these glasses to her!
As far as I know, people that can see only in black & white, there's none glasses to help them.
Sorry.
Omg!!! I have been wondering what your take on this was for a hot minute. I've seen your old videos about the glasses but now I keep seeing videos talking about how they might be a scam and my curiousity was through the roof.

Thank you for your support Agnes!! 🙏

The level of research you guys did into this before making your purchase is definitely not characteristic of the level of research an average person can or will do. And I think that functionally makes it a scam. Which honestly is so unfortunate considering that, again, they DO have a function. Never doubted you, I always 100% trust your well thought out reviews. Enjoyed your video as always!
I haven't seen the MegaLag video, but I did see the one by Ann Reardon (How to Cook That is her channel, but she does debunking too). She included a brief clip of you. What I gathered from that is that those glasses may help colorblind people distinguish certain tricky colors... to the detriment of the ones they know. It's very interesting to hear your take on this.
i was actually thinking about your old videos on this when I saw the other videos, so I was really plesently surprised seeing this update on it! thanks for such a thoughtful commentary
Ooh, I have been wondering if we'd get an update from you on the enchroma glasses! I saw all the reviews early on that had obviously been sent for free or sponsored, and obviously exaggerated the effects. I trust you both to give us the real tea!
HAHA if only we could of got sent them at all 😂 But yes, we pride ourselves on being honest with you guys, with these and all the art supplies we review too ❤️
Hullo U2! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! I do remember watching your colorblind glasses video and did not think you were throwing excessive “shade” on them! You guys are one of the most honest and open creators on TH-cam! Just my opinion and as I see that I am not alone, I feel completely justified saying it again! Thank you and Please keep creating your amazing videos!
I was under the impression that they never claimed that they could improve all types of color blindness. I thought they always said that it only helped with certain types. On their current website it says that “can improve color vision for those with red-green color blindness”. Does not sound like they ever claimed they could help people that could see no colors ar all for example.
Id recommend watching Megalag's video that gives deep into the claims they made
@@DoodleDatethank you, will do
Watching this to catch up on y’all before I have to leave for practice. My dad is color blind, so hearing his thoughts about my art (I have a pretty colorful style) has always been an interesting perspective. Best of luck from a color typical 💛💙
Haha thank you so much Siera! And good luck at practice as well ✨
Doodle date with the hard hitting titles‼️‼️‼️i literally didn't know this was even a drama, i hope this hasnt inadvertently effected you because of your experience with the glasses
Our videos have been featured in a few places and got a couple of comments as a result but nothing too bad thankfully!
The glasses I saw you wear them in got me into Doodle Date I have tritanomaly (Blue and Yellow) I was like some one else who does art who has color blind issues i was super excited. Really happy I came across you guys
I'd be kind of interested to see Adam try different colours over some glasses to see if it affected the contrast at all! It's so sucky that it's effectively just a red filter.
Oh wow some rainbow glasses does sound kinda cool 👀
When I see the protanopia filter on those crayola markers I totally get how Adam gets pink and light blue confused.
Oh also I wonder if part of the headache comes from the glasses having a tint- it might cause your pupils to dilate and let in more light, but doesn't protect from UV like sunglasses would. My mom actually in college did a study on sunglasses and some of them didn't actually have any UV protection so they were actually hurting your eyes by making them dilate but not blocking the harmful light.
If the glasses boost some colours a bit they might be very useful for artists (fewer colours would look exactly the same), even though they might be useless for others who don't need that? :)
My guess is that the reason your eyes hurt from wearing them too long could be because they're not personally tailored to your eyes like normal glasses would be, so your eyes get exhausted trying to see though them. And normally you also get help tweaking the things that go behind your ears too when you buy glasses so that they sit comfortably (except when wearing a headset of course), but buying online they'll just be the same shape and size for everyone.
i dont have much to add to the drama discussion bc i was blown away by the guinea pigs with the protanopia filter 😳 Adam sees the pigs so differently! i feel like im biased to animals that have a certain color or pattern, like when youre picking out one to take home. i think it's so sweet Adam loves the pigs just as much as Steph but he sees them so differently 💕 itd be interesting for him to use the glasses to pick out the difference between the two pictures
The video with you guys trying on the colorblind glasses was actually the first video that got me introduced to your channel! And I think you both were doing a good job and being very upfront about what you thought about the glasses. So while it's disappointing to learn that those glasses were basically a scam (at least for the prices they were sold at and for how they were advertised), I am still so glad that video brought me to you. Both of you are so kind and sweet and I love watching your videos every week!
I don't comment as much as I would like but I'd like to comment this time to just say; thank you so much for this week's video! You guys are awesome and I hope you both will have a wonderful coming week!
I also like to mention that I really like the decorated chains for your glasses Steff! It's such a vibe and I love how colorful they are, almost makes me wish I had my own glasses so I could do the same! XD Keep being awesome guys and I hope to see you next week! 👍
I think a lable maker would be useful for labelling markers and I think Steph could enjoy using one😊
Steph has such a cute glasses chain=3 Thank you for the insight into colourblindness. I've learned a lot of new info! Have a comfortable week=3
Thank you! I got it from Flying Tiger 🐯
Thanks so much for this video. When I saw the scam video, I immediately thought of you guys and wanted to hear your perspective. It was your glasses video that first brought me to the channel, and despite the glasses being scammy I'm glad it brought me here! :) I would love to see you now make your own DIY glasses and test them against the enchromas.
Adam, the Tonal Superhero. You’ll never stub your toe in the dark, again. I really enjoyed seeing your perspectives on this, and hearing your comparisons, sometimes explaining things is a struggle so when two people can analyze and put into words their experiences and how they understand things it helps a lot with figuring it out for yourself. I look forward to your next video and art stream, and wish you both the best.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope we were able to be concise in our explanations, this isn't the usual kind of video we'd put out lol
I can relate because my eye sight has changed. I've always had to wear glasses, but my sight is not as good as it was when I was younger. I used to be able to read all but the last couple of rows of letters on the sight test and I need magnifiers to read small print now. I was looking at hands free ones for reading, computer screens and for sewing and the best ones are very expensive. I don't see why folks should have to spend a lot to aid their vision. It has changed because of ageing (which it does) and because I am diabetic. I've been listening to audio books for about a year and I've started building up an audiobook library - I decided to do it now while my sight isn't too bad.
Hello guys ! It's nice that you took the time to clear things up about those glasses. I didn't know about the recent news concerning them and it's sad to know that it was mostly a scam. At least I will never forget how happy adam was the first the glasses "worked" for him. I would definitely love to see if you could experience the same effect using glasses with red filters in another video ! Have a nice day !
Oh for sure! They helped me see colours more clearly than I otherwise would and the fact I got to see Steph's eyes so vibrantly will always be an amazing memory!
I really want people who aren't the regular Doodle Date audience to see this video, so here's a comment to boost it in the algo.
💜
Thank you Surina we really appreciate you 🙏
Thank you for explaining color blindness in depth. There were a lot of things I didn´t know about that. Also: cool that Adam has a superpower: night vision! And also: can we all appreciate Stephs gorgeous beaded glasses chain? 🥰
Very important video! Dropping a comment to boost engagement for the algorithm!
You're the best! ❤️
Just realised ur first vid re these glasses, was 6yrs ago, how on earth was it 6 yrs ago, doesn't feel like it's been 6 yrs since that video.
Love your videos.
I still think if you wear them for a 45 minute coloring session and it helps distinguish that there’s a difference between one color and another it still does something. Idk.
They knew something was wrong with my eyes when I kept walking into stuff 😂 I love hearing stories of how others different lived experiences ❤
The how to cook that video did show that it can help but that the videos of purple sobbing over sunsets were clearly overreacting.
The cure vs aids differentiation is something a lot of people (and marketing departments) don't seem to understand. My stick aids my balance but it hasn't fixed the underlying caused.
Competely unrelated have you guys been to £land recently? They've got a whole load of awesome looking art things. I got some surprisingly good actual brush makers.
how have I never even heard of these glasses and apparently theres drama? 😂
I’m not colorblind, but when I wear my normal glasses for to long I get headaches & migraines. So it might not just be the colorblind glasses giving you headaches, maybe your eyes just need a rest? It may just be your body asking for a break.
I'm glad you made this video. I saw that Megalag video and was wondering on your thoughts on it.
It was nice to be able to share our thoughts too, honestly!
Saw you guys on Ann reardons channel! 🧡
Ooo we'll have to check it out!
@@DoodleDate it was a video on the colour blind glasses if that helps finding it!
That way I gasped at the title! (I'll finish watching in a little bit cause i still have some things to do first)
We hope you enjoy it!
My dad is red-green colorblind and I am glad I could never afford the glasses from him, because I just don't think he'd get much use out of them- but then, he's also lived his whole life with it an adapted. He likes to forage for wild food like mushrooms and berries which is the type of thing where you need to know shades of browns and purple mushrooms and red or green berries.
It does seem to have an interesting potential for artists, I think that the creator of the video criticizing them was definitely frustrated because as he said, he was already a long-time graphic designer and knew how to modify his process to match sighted vision more accurately. Perhaps there is a place for tinted glasses for people who are learning to adapt their colorblindness to industry standards or something.
It might be useful to have your own system when you get an art supply you take a black Sharpie and put a dot on anything red or pink, “x” on anything green… etc
I don't know what is available to you guys, but I just want to mention that you might want to look into hobby lobby if you shop there. The owners are a specific type of christian and use it as justification to do things like withhold access to birth control through their employee medical insurance. The owners were also involved in antiquity theft.
Thank you for this video. I did watch both of you with the enchroma videos at the time you posted. Thank you for explaining why you don't wear them all the time, Adam. It makes perfect sense.
Amazing video, I hope this gets shared by a lot of people.
I hope so too! We'd love our side to get shared out there
I thought you were very clear in the videos you made about how they worked and to what extent. Not a miracle but an aid that help a bit in some situations. You’ve nothing to worry about. Unfortunately you can’t control what your viewers hear, you can only control what you say. Bizarrely these are not always the same.
Late to the game but- Really insightful video! I love how you are always honest about your experiences with the product/item you're discussing, and simultaneously stay positive or joke around (where applicable) 💙
Ugh it's horrible to hear that the company allegedly made these from cheap materials and yet they cost that much! Not only that but advertised to the wrong audience and made so many people hopeful 😠 I can only hope they "DO BETTER" in the future
I wonder if your eyes need to learn to adjust to the glasses? i know when I had to have special shoe inserts, I had to start out by wearing them for a short period every day and slowly work my way up to all day. When my feet were adjusting, if I wore them longer than my doc recommended, my feet were very painful. I loved what you said to the company who created the glasses - "Do Better". LOL That is so perfect and so true!
Has anyone heard of Dyslexia reading glasses? It feel like the same concept where they use a certain tint to help focus better and the letters don't "move" as much, when i fist heard of it i thought it sounded amazing but its hard to find a good amount of people who can talk about their experience with them.
Wait, but in a digital color picker wouldn't you be able to tell grey and pink apart from where they are on the color picker? Like, you generally only get grey towards the bottom of the picker, no? The more up you go, the more pink it gets. I don't do digital art, so maybe I'm wrong and those color pickers are different 😅
steph is here for the drama (the good time). Thanks Adamo for the insight into them and your coloublindness
I really hoped this helped! I know we mention me being colourblind a lot but very rarely deep dive into it LOL
I mean don't eyes hurt when you use normal glasses for the first time also? Like Steff when you got your glasses didn't it take weeks to adjust?
Many if Adam had them on for longer it would stop hurting and in the long run many the eyes would adapt even better and see more colors? Many you guys should mail enchroma and ask how it's suppose to work like are people only suppose to use them short periods of time like a fun thing or are they meant to be worn like normal glasses and it gets some time to get used to them?
Because I think they would work better if you've had them for a few weeks just like normal glasses.
Is there any difference between the inside and outside ones when it comes to hurting?
Love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration❤
You are so welcome! We really appreciate your support ❤️
Thank you for giving so much information on this video! I learned a lot❤️ Keep up the amazing videos! :)
Thank you! Will do! ❤️
i often wondered how your intitial thought were about how colorful the flat or steffs clothes were. did you expected it?
I remember seeing that video and I was interested in hearing your thoughts.
I would love to see Steph try to create art with a protan filter so she can be in Adams shoes!
Hey guys!!!
Hi there mushy!
Hey Adam and Steph is there any reliable colorblind tests I could use? It's been a while and I don't think I've ever had a proper one before.
They've used one in a video where they made digital art! It's an older video but I think it's in the colourblind playlist.
Was the other test the Farnsworth D-15?
Yes! I'm pretty sure it's that one 😮
Yes, that's it!
You guys are way too cute 😂
I think companies like Enchroma can take advantage of people seeking help with colour blindness because colour blindness receives no support generally by society. It isn't like short- or far-sightedness where prescription glasses are widely available (although still so expensive!!!) and it isn't routinely screened for. It seems so arbitrary which conditions are deemed worthy of being supported or not.
Thanku...
Protopia isn't that the one when you see mostly blue yellow and beach? 😊 Also I remember seeing your enchroma videos I always wiched for you Adam to make more videos using them it was funny.
These glasses won't work on me because I've got Tritanomaly
I somehow missed this one, here's some belated interaction anyway.
Great in depth video!
Hi Mirjan! Thank you so much for checking it out 😊
@@DoodleDate of course my dears! 💙💛
You two are really nice 💛
Heh doodle dateee! I ahve deadlines next week nad working on my assignment Ita a drawing on a witch
Good luck with it and have fun!!
My dad though they are
interesting hmm
You could totally do a video where you make your own glasses with the red film from the craft store. You could buy cheap sunglasses, use the film in the frames and bedazzle them or something crafty to design your own.
Never had issues with color but I'm near sighted like a mole and can only see 10 CM away from my face without glasses. lol
interesting
💛💙
❤️❤️❤️
To think that they didn't send their colour blind glasses to someone WHO IS COLORBLIND🙄
Maybe they were afraid you would reveal their scam?🤔
I KNOW RIGHT
Great job knowing your audience enchroma 😂
@@DoodleDate they screwed up
Totally love you guys for always going out of your way to buy products with your own coin 🪙. Especially with everything yall have been through. And your always honest about them to a fault! Love yall stay safe!
