3.1 Understanding Your Glasses:

Colorblindness is not a uniform condition; it is caused by mutations in the color sensing transmembrane proteins located on the cone cells in your retina. This mutation might occur in different cone cells, or in different amino acid residues in a protein of the same cone cells. In other words, the disabled spectrum windows and the severity may be totally different from person to person. Our glasses are universally designed to address common conditions.

3.2 Initial Experience and Adjustment:

Different individuals may have different experiences with the same pair of glasses. There is a 10-15% chance that these glasses may not work for some users, even if they select the suggested lens type based on a colorblind test. It is recommended to wear the glasses for a few weeks before expecting to notice a significant difference, as the effect can be subtle initially. Allow your eyes to adjust to the new color perception.

5. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Pilestone color blind glasses, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized eyeglass cleaning solution. Avoid using paper towels or rough materials, as they can scratch the lenses.
• Storage: When not in use, store your glasses in the provided protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
• Handling: Always handle the glasses by the frame, not by the lenses, to avoid smudges and potential damage.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the glasses to extreme heat or cold, as this can damage the frame and lens coatings.

6. Troubleshooting and Expectations

Glasses Not Working / No Noticeable Difference:

• Adjustment Period: As mentioned, the effect can be subtle. Continue wearing the glasses consistently for a few weeks to allow your brain and eyes to adapt.
• Severity of Color Blindness: These glasses are designed for mild to moderate red-green color blindness. For severe cases, the effect might be minimal or non-existent.
• Individual Variation: Due to the unique nature of color blindness, there is a small chance (10-15%) that the glasses may not work for certain individuals.
• Lighting Conditions: Ensure you are using the glasses in appropriate lighting conditions. Optimal results are often observed in natural daylight.

Discomfort or Fit Issues:

• Adjusting the Frame: If the fit is uncomfortable, a professional optician may be able to make minor adjustments to the frame for better comfort.
