Tested Success Since 2011
- Founded: In 2011 by Dr. Ben Z at UPenn to help a color-deficient friend.
- Inspiration: Success of his colorblind glasses led to Pilestone’s creation. Now, Pilestone has helped over 30k experience colors globally.
Understanding Color Vision Deficiency (CVD)
- Causes: Often due to genetic mutations affecting color-sensing proteins in retinal cone cells.
- Variability: Mutations differ among individuals, leading to various types and severities of color deficiencies.
How Pilestone Glasses Work
- Technology: Utilize optical filters to selectively block specific wavelengths of light.
- Benefits: Reduces color confusion and improves contrast.
Tips for Optimal Results
- Test: Take Pilestone's free online colorblind test to select the best lens.
- Usage: Wear the selected glasses for a total of 25 hours in bright environments.
- Note: Individual experiences Vary.

Got these for work to help with some red/green impairment issues I was having, and went with the indoor ones for, well, indoor work. I gave the product two stars because the packaging and presentation was top notch. The frames were pretty sweet and well made too. The main problem though, was that they did not work. I went onto the Pilestone website and took their own color blindness test and found that with some of the dot circles, the glasses actually made it worse. I guess I’m doomed to only see the world in the way I’ve seen it my whole life. Sending these back because I have no use for em…

By far this is the biggest disappointment of the day. I waited for these glasses and hoped that they would allow me to distinguish shades. But they absolutely don't work. I was unable to pass the color blindness test. The test results were the same, both without glasses and with glasses, and even when I walked in them for more than 3 hours. The test showed that I have MILD DEUTAN. I have to return them. They do not work

Glasses were comfortable, but they did nothing to help my son's colorblindness. His is red-green so I thought they would work. They didn't.

Purchased for my son in-law who is a strong deutan. He loves them and says they're comfortable and definitely brighten up colora he hasn't seen before. He uses them for playing video games and inside and was amazed at the difference they make.

I bought these for my husband for Christmas. I was so worried about these not working and when they came I was so excited to give them to him. As soon as he put them on he started crying saying "wow" thank you so much! So me to be able to give him something everyone takes advantage of was so worth it . I would recommend these to anyone who struggles with this.
