Derby (outdoor color‑vision glasses)
Description
The EnChroma® Derby is a premium outdoor color‑vision glasses designed for people with red‑green color blindness (Deutan or Protan type). It belongs to EnChroma’s outdoor category and combines a classic browline design with patented EnChroma filter technology, which selectively attenuates certain wavelengths in the color spectrum to make contrasts between red and green tones more visible. Depending on the version, the lenses are polarized, provide 100% UV protection, feature a scratch‑resistant coating, and are designed for everyday outdoor use.
The Derby glasses are available in several variants, such as Deutan Polarized lenses (for Deutan color vision deficiency), Protan Polarized lenses (for Protan color vision deficiency), or specialized Cx3‑Sun lenses (with extended color filtering and UV protection). These variants differ in lens filter tuning, not in the basic design: all share the same sturdy frame, but the lenses are optimized for different color‑perception needs.
In addition to the Derby line, EnChroma offers other outdoor glasses models, such as the Ellis, California, or Holland series. In these models, frame shape, size, and style vary, while the core color‑enhancement technology remains similar. Differences include fit (sporty vs. classic), lens type (polarized vs. Cx3), and target users (wider fit vs. narrower fit).
Compared to conventional sunglasses, which merely reduce light and glare, the EnChroma® Derby is designed to make color differences perceptible that people with color vision deficiencies often cannot clearly see. This makes them not only a stylish accessory but also a functional tool for everyday use in sunlight.
