Yesterday, I saw colour for the first time...
Discussion
I'm sort of tempted. I think mine is classed as mild deutan. I find the concept a bit weird though, would I wear them all the time, or just put them on for exciting colourful occasions? Would they just be an expensive novelty that end up in the drawer? Be better if I could try them in an optician before buying,

I believe I am strong deutan. On the strength of this thread, I’ve ordered them from Amazon. Arrive on Saturday. Can always return if no good!

Fantastic result!
Enjoy.
Thankfully the two images look very different to me (I'm a photographer and if they hadn't been I would be in trouble).
Can you explain how they are very different? They look identical to me!Enjoy.

E.g. Top sky is blue, bottom sky is purple
Top trees on the left are Reddy brown, bottom are dark green
Top house rooves are red, bottom are green
Field to the right of the road under the houses is green with red patches on the top but yellow with grey patches bottom.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
happy for you
Although not in the same league, my daughter was having issues reading, over the years she has worn glasses, not worn them, a number of times. My wife read something as part of her research on Autism and related co-morbid conditions and some features clicked. So we went for an eye test and the optician said she didnt need glasses, but the issues she reported indicated 'visual distrubance' so he tested her. Turns out she had reached 17 years old with Irlen Syndrome. Some tinted lenses later and her reading vision improvements were a revelation to her.
He is now our permanent optician even though he is seriously inconvenient. He pointed out that being long sighted I should be tested for 'closed angle Glaucoma' as long sighted people are at increased risk of it.
This has never been mentioned in my 55 years on the planet, so I mentioned it to my GP, went to see someone at the hospital who promptly said oh yes, we need to sort that out and did Laser surgery almost immediately. Turns out closed angle is VERY dangerous and you can lose your sight in hrs. I never knew your eyballs have built in drain holes that let the fluid in your eyes drain out like a pressure release valve.

Good luck! We see the world quite differently, so not sure what will be the biggest impact for you.
So far, for me it's pinks/oranges/browns/purples - especially in the natural world.
Hippos and chimps have pink bits!

I am mild protan deficient on the Enchroma test as there are about 15% of them where I can't make out the numbers in the dots, however I can see the differences on the pics in the OP. I see:
Top pic:
trees on the hill are orange/red
hill itself is red
bottom left 2 fields are yellow/orange
bottom right field is green
house roofs are red
sky is light blue
Bottom pic:
trees on the hill are green
hill itself is green (washed out)
bottom left 2 fields are yellow/washed out green
bottom right field same
house roofs are green
sky is purpley.
