What a lovely video, I think your dad could see pretty big changes but he’s an understated guy so he is keeping it very lowkey. That’s such a great plan to start a charitable foundation. I could see in that short reaction he had was touched that you wanted to name it after him. Be warned that there are commenters who live to nitpick and criticize enchroma videos, so you may have to lock comments if they get too much. But please continue to share the video!
They may help you differentiate certain colors. But they do that by filtering out other colors. It kind of makes you more color blind in a way. But because the people are seeing these colors differently. They're convinced that it's helping them.
What a wonderful man, not was a hard worker dedicated to his career, he apparently filled ur life/family with proper love n necessities, as u my friend are a seemingly very loving respectful young man!! Truly enjoyed, thanks for sharing!!
please let your father know May your life be brighter and happier and healther. This video reminds me of my father who passed away last year. Thank you! I wish your family be happy forever!💐 I pray it from other country
Protan? When he called out the red balloon initially as black, that was indication. You should have got him either fitovers or Rx glasses. If he gets Rx glasses, he will not be disappointed!
He looks like my grandparents did when they were in their 60s (passed away at 69 and 70). Crazy how people can age so drastically different from one another. Be grateful he has lived so long. Such a great gift.
@@DeFinisLand Wish I could say that about the rest of my family, but my great grandma lived through a lot. Wish I had the ambition to ask her all about her life when I was younger. When I was around 7, I'd sneak away from a babysitter and go visit my great grandma. She'd offer me milk and cookies while we sat together in the kitchen, then send me on my way. She was awesome and loved gardening. 💖
@@DeFinisLand aww I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm sure that's hard for you to see his sadness. Just know it really was heartwarming and made me smile watching him and I could just tell oh yeah, he's a sweet Dad.
Wow, I work in a bodyshop and I paint cars, some colours are SO finicky and hard to match even with perfect colour vision, I simply cannot imagine doing this job if I couldn't see all the little nuances, never mind like this! I'm amazed! He's pretty spry for a 90 year old, great video :)
Thank you MN. Your right! It’s amazing to me that he made it all these years hiding his disability. But he over came it and that is something to be proud of for sure!
Hope you, your dad & family are doing well dude. When he said he never knew his car was black was priceless, coming from a guy who painted cars his whole life 😂 I hear that they work alot better after a few weeks, did your dad see any impovement at all since when you recorded this?
yes he is keeping them in his car and he wears them when he drives. He made mention of seeing lots of new things from the tail lights of a car, to traffic lights and trees. He said he is really looking forward to taking a long ride when the trees turn colors this fall.
Good luck. And people say us British have a stiff upper lip. I'm sure the full affect will take a while to sink in. 90 years without red spectrum. Maybe a VCR depicting the effects of living without red spectrum vision would help others empathise? An idea. Your Dad is great. x
Fantastic my Friend. I hope you enjoy every new color and right now with all the leaves changing for the fall season, this should be a very exciting time for you. Congratulations. what made you make the final jump to buying them?
@@DeFinisLand I searched google early last week for colorblind glasses. I didn’t know they existed. Been watching videos pretty much daily getting excited and prepared.
Thats awesome and it is exactly the same exact thing that I did when preparing to surprise my dad. To be honest, as I watched many of those videos, I would get quite emotional and tear up in joy. For weeks approaching, I would talk to my dad about his color blindness and we would talk about how amazing it would be to see true color. Although his reaction was not as emotional as some of the other videos out there...he is just that kind of guy. I know on the inside he was in shell shock.
My first child, I first found out that he was color blind when he was 7 years old. When I heard that there were glasses for color blind people, I tried to set aside funds to buy them color blind glasses. Now he is 26 years old, yet I still can't afford to buy him. Even after I am getting older now, I no longer have a job after an accident in 2011 ... I am really happy to see him can have glasses for color blindness .... God bless you all....
You could start a go fund me for him. Set the amount for the cost of the glasses plus shipping and share it on all your social media pages. Send me the link and I will share it on mine as well.
@@adhbadoang1086 You are welcome to post in your responses here an address for people to assist you. I am not sure if that is against CZcams policy or not but if you want to post a mailing address. The company who makes these glasses might be willing to send you something. Or people might be willing to make you a donation. I am not sure. If I were you, I would write to Encroma and ask them for help. They may have some sort of program set up for donating to people who cant afford the glasses. It may be a simple tax write off for the company to donate a certain amount of product.
@@DeFinisLand this information is really valuable to me .... thank you very much again .. God bless you sir .... I'm on adhbaqashwa@gmail.com , FYI.......Oh, and both my eyes are in tears to see your Dad recognize the whole colors out there...May He'll be in good health always...
He would love to go back to work. Two years ago he had a double bypass and ever since then he said he was done with working. He takes care of my mom now. She is 88. He misses the action with working on cars and helping out his customers.
it's things like this that really make you think what exactly is orange? this man would have gone his whole life attributing orange with something completely different to what orange in reality is, based on his perception. Makes you think exactly if anything is really 'true' how can we be so sure that the rest of us actually know what orange or anything else is as a definitive proof but just that . Is orange to me the same as orange to you? How does one actually describe a color? What if this helps attribute to the fact people can have so many differing views on what colors are nice or not beyond just basic preference or personal tastes? What if the reason say I could find blue absolutely breathtaking is because my blue is completely unique to what others perceive as blue. Or how others can say their favorite color is something like pink and i have to question myself "are you actually seeing what i am seeing?" lol It really makes you think about things in a whole new light.
Literally had this conversation with someone last night......and wondered it since I was about 7. I have Autism and sometimes I get glimpses of what things look/feel like to normal people...........it is overwhelming and humbling and scary and sad that our worlds are so far about.
He is working toward 92 now....lol. He just always tried to eat generally healthy. My mom and him have breakfast every morning together. when he was working, she packed him a lunch (usually a sandwich) and he always came home to a cooked meal. He grew up in an Italian household so there was a lot of tomato sauce/gravy, red wine and pasta. He stays active as much as possible. He likes to keep busy...usually doing something. these days he enjoys going to big stores like Walmart and just walking around. gets him moving and out of the house. Plus he will do the grocery shopping now too. my mother is and was always a very good cook. so if i had to suggest his health secret then I would have to say it was what he ate...
I think at the age of 90, he doesn't know the correct names of colors and never has known them, and is gradually figuring them out. He has never seen them before.
He loves it. Absolutely loves it. Every time he goes out to drive he comes back telling me of things he saw differently. He says its a beautiful world to observe.
He looks so good for 90. Many, many, many more years of good health and prosperity for him!
Thank you. Heading toward 91 now...in great health too.
90????? This guy looks like he is in his late 60s or early 70s. He's aged really well.
yes he does.
I know! Looks better than me in my 30-ish years...
That’s what hard work will get you
@@rpgvoidergm2505 no. It's 90% genetics, 10% taking care of yourself. If not all genetics. Just like being colorblind, good trade off, I'd say.
Try look for Mahathir from Malaysia. Our ex PM, hes 96 now still involved with politics. Its crazy
I appreciate how this man opened his box 10,000x more than any other video I’ve seen. And I’ve seen A FEW.
One thing all these EnChroma videos have in common is that everyone has trouble opening the box.
Haaaa so true

Thank you so much. Yes he is a very understated guy. He is not big on fanfare of any sorts.
It's a good theory. I reckon the effect is also understated because it's a pair of outdoor Enchroma glasses, not the indoor kind.
the way he kisses his grandaughter🥺🥺🥺 he loves her! so precious!❤❤❤
He's tearing the box... he's never putting them back in there anyway❤❤❤ So happy for him! Grand daughter looks just like him
90 years old? looks healthy and almost my father's age.
You are blessed to have an elderly parent.
wish your family health and happiness! I can feel the love in your family
Well what'd you EXPECT him to do? Cartwheels?? He's 90 for God's sake.
What a great present Gary! I never knew this secret of his!!! I loved his reactions to seeing colors
Thanks Tina. Love you.
how good are those glasses. Your dad seemed pretty happy with them. A great present for him.
They may help you differentiate certain colors. But they do that by filtering out other colors. It kind of makes you more color blind in a way. But because the people are seeing these colors differently. They're convinced that it's helping them.
They are a scam
Its good to see these elderly do this because these videos are not fake for sure.
Congrats on your new glasses delighted for you. Hope you get to walk in nature.
