I had a friend at school who was colourblind and it wasn't as if he couldn't see any colour at all. Like a black and white movie, it just means sufferers have trouble seeing the difference between certain colors.

A radical new range of sunglasses is letting the colourblind among us see far more like a person with perfect vision - literally opening up a world of colour. Sufferers are able to see colour where they were previously muddled and muted.
