Chris Smelcer was born color blind and has never seen anything in color in his fifty years of life. Most men with colorblindness are just color deficient, which means they can’t see color as well as a normal person, but for Smelcer, the visuals are completely in black and white. On his 50th birthday, Smelcer’s family surprised him with the gift of color – a pair of Enchroma glasses. After putting it on, he bursts into tears of joy seeing colors that surround him.
