Those with color deficiency can benefit from a specially tinted soft contact lens that helps them perceive colors more accurately.
(Golden, Colo.) - "Our company supplies specially tinted soft contact lenses to Dr. Jay Schlanger in Los Angeles, as well as other practitioners throughout the country, to help patients with color deficiency," Stan Harper, CEO of Adventures in Color Technology, Ltd., says.According to Dr. Schlanger, there are three color deficiencies: blue, green and red.
"Rarely are patients blue deficient
- they're either green or you're red color deficient. Now what the therapeutic contact lens - usually magenta in color and placed on one eye - does is that it allows the person to perceive more differences in color.
You notice, I didn't say cure the vision or makes them to see colors better.
They just see more differences."For example, if someone is red deficient and they look at a tree - dark green leaves, dark brown bark - what's the difference? The amount of red. So the red deficient person might have a hard time seeing the differences.
With the tinted lens on, they'll say 'ah, there's something different between the two.'
Will they say 'that's green and that's brown?'
Not necessarily.
But now they can see there's a difference.
When they get dressed, they can look and say 'that tie doesn't match,'" Dr. Schlanger explains.New York City optician Cary Hirshfield says the optometry group he's affiliated with, Farkas Kassalow & Resnick, has been working with Adventures in Color Technolgy for about 12 years now."The therapeutic application we've used from Adventures in Color Technology is for red/green color deficiency.
That's where we take a custom tinted lens with about a 5 mm red dot and put it on the non-dominant eye. It usually gets the patient through whatever test they have to pass for civil service or whatever the case may be."Adventures in Color Technology is miles ahead in the industry - in terms of customer service, accessibility and the staff's willingness to help practitioners with their patients' problems. In most cases, their delivery time is also better," Hirschfield explains."The other good thing about Adventures in Color," Dr.
Schlanger adds, "Is that they customize the diameter of the tinted area on the contact lens.
Let's say it's an orange or a magenta tint, they can make it very close to the exact size of the patient's pupil.
That's very important with the magenta lenses we use for color vision."????"More than 20 million people suffer from serious untreated vision problems, and most of those people don't realize a solution like ours is available," says Stan Harper, CEO of Adventures in Color Technology and former president of the Contact Lens Society of America.Adventures In Color Technology, Ltd., serves eye care practitioners in private practice throughout the world, developing colors and patterns for patients and continuing research for other retinal problems. Hopefully, to soon help patients with macular degeneration, a debilitating loss of vision as the macula in the back of the eye becomes less and less responsive to light entering the eye through the pupil. This condition is the leading cause of blindness in our older population.
The company's headquarters is located at 1511 Washington Avenue, Golden, Colo., 80401.

Estate Planning - What About Life Insurance?
Copyright 2006 Ronald Hudkins
Not too many years ago life insurance was considered to be the indispensable platform upon which all other estate planning efforts should be based. In fact, for those in the median and lower income ranges, it was often the only recognized method for protecting one's heirs, particularly in the event of untimely death. However, over the past twenty or so years, the concept of financial planning has changed considerably. The proliferation of varied retirement...
