Today is #colorblindawarenessday
With 300+ million people affected by color blindness, there still is not enough awareness or testing being done.
We are committed to our mission & trying to screen children for potential color blindness at the Preschool / Elementary level (1/3)
(2/3) We would like to thank @enchroma for their Color Blindness Awareness Month initiative, donating 2 pairs of glasses to us.
We are currently in the process of finding the best way to donate them to people in need. Please stay tuned for updates…
(2/2) Unfortunately our proposal was denied for an unknown reason.
If you know any schools or groups in south Florida that would be interested in partnering for a screening event, please let us know…

Here’s a crazy stat to think about. What’s even crazier is that Eye See Color Project offered to go into the Broward County School District, screen the children and help purchase color filtered glasses for children who cannot afford them (1/2)…
However, in March and April, you can see the difference adding patterns can make for a colorblind student.

Here’s an example of why it’s so important for teachers to examine worksheets for potential color clashing.
You’ll see, for January and February, besides color, there is nothing to differentiate the three data points (blue, red and green). (1/2)
Here is an example of why it’s so important for teachers and parents to make sure all craft items are labeled.
Would you be able to correctly select each color on the right side, without the labels?
Left side: Standard Color Vision
Right side: Color Vision Deficient
It’s easy to understand why children affected by color blindness are often picky eaters and some foods don’t seem as appetizing.

You may ask “How can colorblind people drive if this is what they see? By remembering that red/stop is on top, green/go is on the bottom and noticing which of the three lights has a different brightness to it.
