Cast members in the Lee High School production serenaded musical director, Tyler Henderson, who was born colorblind, as they presented him with the EnChroma glasses, which can retail for hundreds of dollars.’Yeah, they work!’ exclaimed a beaming Henderson leading to cheers from his students before a group hug among the multicolored balloons. ‘Just the gesture itself was really – was really sweet of them to have done something like that for me,’ the emotional teacher said of his students. ‘I mean, that’s one of the sweetest things that anyone’s ever done for me.’ Share this article Share The students raised the cash for the glasses quickly on behalf of Henderson, Junior Ariana Brown told WHNT.’He`s talked about it before but he hasn’t been able to see the full technicolor effect of the show,’ Brown explained.’And now that he has it. It`s not just in the costume, the costumes are vibrant, it`s also the lighting and the tech that is added to it, now he gets to see all the elements put together and just give it that last little spark.’ Henderson’s thoughtful students even invited his mother to the presentation, WHNT reported, where they unveiled a banner that read, ‘You helped us see our colors now we’re helping you see YOURS.”To give him something that he gave us, which is knowledge, and to give him something back, it was a great experience,” student Alexus Burton told WAAY.’When a group of kids goes out of their way to make you feel good like that, it proves exactly what we’re trying to do every single day,’ the teacher, who is also an alumnus of Lee High School, said of his magnet program students.How Enchroma glasses help the colorblind to see again The Enchroma system, called Digital Colour Boost, works using a series of precise ‘cutouts’ along the spectrum of light.By removing the wavelengths of light between the primary colours, Digital Colour Boost amplifies the color signal sent to the brain.For wearers, colours appear brighter and more saturated.People report that their colour discrimination is faster and more accurate, they are able to see more vibrant colours.They are more likely to notice objects that are differentiated against a background based on colour (such as a flower against background of leaves), whereas without the lens those objects would have been overlooked.When people with normal colour vision wear the Enchroma Cx glasses, they see a ‘boost’ effect and colours appear to ‘pop’ with a super-ordinary vibrance.
