TECHNOLOGY: Spectacle Lenses EnChroma Introduces Indoor Color-Enhancing Lens By Andrew Karp Monday, May 18, 2015 12:00 AM BERKELEY, Calif.—EnChroma is introducing the Cx-65, a color-enhancing lens designed for indoor and nighttime use. The Cx-65 works best with computers and colored status/indicator lights on electronic devices, but has only a mild effect on most surface colors such as printed photos, according to EnChroma. The lens, which has a light blue tint, has an ANSI Z.87 Category 3 classification and is not intended as a sun lens. It is available in single vision, blended round 25mm bifocal and progressive designs. AR and hydrophobic coatings are standard. “A lot of EnChroma sunglass wearers wanted an indoor version so they could bring the experience of seeing certain colors for the first time to their lives at work and at home,” said Tony Dykes, CEO of EnChroma. “Everything from learning at school, or presenting a colorful slide show at work, to debating friends about the infamous ‘gold-and-white or black-and-blue dress,’ is much easier with EnChroma Cx indoor glasses. We’re excited to help CVD (Color Vision Deficiency) kids overcome learning obstacles at school, or to enable someone to enter a field requiring color-identification capabilities.” akarp@jobson.com
