A Lifelong Struggle

Craig Greco has struggled with color vision deficiency, or color blindness, his whole life. Greco's color blindness prevented him from seeing reds and greens. Instead, he saw only yellows and browns.

"I was trying to save up. My wife was well aware that I wanted them."

The Best Gift Ever

Greco had been wanting a pair of Enchroma color blindness glasses for years--but the steep $350 price tag was out of reach.

As his 35th birthday approached, his wife and a close friend decided to organize a Facebook group to help raise money to purchase a pair of the glasses for Greco.

"There aren't words to describe the thanks and gratitude I have to my family and friends that made this happen."

A Whole New World

As Greco saw color through the glasses for the first time, he broke down in tears. "It blew me away. I've honestly never felt a sense of joy so powerful," Greco enthused.

A New Lease on Art

"I'm finally able to see the world in the way it was intended to be seen, and it's completely stunning."
