EnChroma

EnChroma is a medical technology company that develops advanced spectral filtering lenses designed to enhance color perception for individuals with color vision deficiency (CVD). Founded in 2010 and based in Berkeley, California, the company utilizes proprietary "notch filter" technology to selectively filter out specific wavelengths of light where the overlap between red and green photoreceptors is most problematic. This optical solution allows for a clearer distinction between colors, effectively expanding the range of perceived colors for those with protanomaly and deuteranomaly. EnChroma offers a diverse portfolio of eyewear products for both indoor and outdoor use, including specialized lenses for pediatric and professional applications. The company's mission is to improve the quality of life for the estimated 350 million people worldwide affected by color blindness through innovative optical science.
