I had only heard of Enchroma but then stumbled across and bought some Pilestone glasses last month. I think they cost me around £120 here in the UK.

At first I put them on and they just made everything look tinged with pink so removed them after a minute or two. Then I noticed the instructions. I had assumed glasses didn't need instructions but all it said was to leave them on for at least 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust.

My eyes did 'adjust' after a few minutes more and while it wasn't something that would make me cry like the viral videos, there was definitely an emotional reaction. I wore them on a walk through the countryside and the vivid colours of certain flowers did make me stop and I found I couldn't stop grinning.

I did find that reds look a bit orange - things like the Royal Mail van which is certainly red appeared quite bright and what I would previously have called orange. Who knows if that's wrong or right though? It's hard to know how everyone else sees things.

I don't wear the glasses day-to-day but I do take them with me if we are going somewhere picturesque.

The reaction of ‘grinning’ you describe was the same for me when my sense of smell was fixed surgically and began working properly some years ago.

For comparison, you could have someone who isn't colourblind wear the glasses for a bit, and ask them if the reds appear orange to them.
