How can eyes know what colour signals need to go to brain when using enchroma glasses?

198 views

I saw another enchroma glasses video and wondered, if the person has always had “faulty” eyes that give wrong colours and smaller range of colours to brain to process, where does the error come in? If it’s the light receptors, how would glasses change those receptors ability to somehow now give correct colour for brain to understand.

And also how can brain understand those new colours immediately? I guess it must be hard coded to DNA and brain has developed correctly with that ability even if eyes can’t provide correct signals to match with colour data in brain.

The glasses just make the colours more distinguishable.

There is an issue where there is absolutely no way to know if someone sees red the same way as you. Same for all colours, possibly excluding white, grey or black.

Colour blindness isn’t seeing colours differently, but seeing less amount of colours. This makes shades look the same.

The glasses exaggerate the colour differences so a colour blind person can distinguish between a rose and the grass. (If they’re red-green)
