California researcher accidentally discovered solution for color blindness

According to the organization Colour Blind Awareness, approximately 8% of men and 1 in 200 women are color blind, unable to fully see red, green or blue light.
A researcher in California may have accidentally created glasses to correct the problem:

The glasses were designed as protective eyewear for doctors during surgery. But one day he wore them with a curious friend who happened to be color blind.

The friend noted he saw colors he couldn't normally see and voila!

So, keep an eye out. These EnChroma glasses could be coming to a store near you in the very near future.
