Pilestone Africa does not diagnose or cure colour blindness

read moreFirst of all, our colour blind lens guide can show you the 3 types of colour blindness that could benefit from our sunglasses:
DEUTERANOMALY/DEUTERANOPIA or otherwise more commonly known as ‘red-green’ colour blindness. This type of colour blindness is the most common and can affect a broad spectrum of colours including reds, greens, browns, oranges, blues, purples, pinks, and yellows.
PROTANOMALY/PROTANOPIA is a less common sub-type of red-green colour blindness and mostly affects reds more than greens.
TRITANOMALY/TRITANOPIA is a very rare type of colour blindness and affects only 1 in every 100 people that suffer from colour blindness. Tritan colour deficiency affects the blue-yellow spectrum.
This lens is universal, meaning it is equipped with the necessary technology for deutan and protan colour blindness (red-green blindness). People with mild / moderate colour blindness typically show the best results from this lens.
Our most popular and effective lens for most users. Similar to lens A, but has a darker tint to the lens. Our lens B is universal and therefore developed for people with deutan and protan colour blindness (red-green blindness). People with strong / severe colour blindness typically show the best results from this lens.
Designed specifically for lower lighting conditions. People that need colour blind glasses primarily for indoor use will benefit most from this lens. Recommended for those with mild / moderate and strong deutan (red-green blindness)
Our lens D offers a striking red lens and is engineered for those with only protan colour blindness. People with strong/severe protan colour blindness typically show the best results from this lens.
Designed specifically for those who suffer from tritan colour blindness. Tritan colour blindness affects the blue-yellow colour spectrum.
Mid/moderate Duetan or Protan – Lens A (Universal)
Strong/severe Duetan or Protan – Lens B (Universal)
Mild-strong Duetan – Lens C (Lower Light Conditions)
Mild/strong Tritan – Lens D (Protan only)
Strong/severe Protan – Lens E (Tritan only)
One may find the best results when combining these lens types with your Pilestone Colour Blind assessment results.
