The Van Gogh Museum now has special glasses for visitors with colour vision deficiency to borrow during their visit. The EnChroma glasses make the colours in the paintings appear brighter and more saturated, and also help you to see more depth and details in colour. The glasses are effective for approximately 80% of people with red-green vision deficiency (Protan and Deutan).
If you would like to know whether the glasses also work for you, take the online test:
Different types of glasses
We are all different, which is why different types of glasses are available:
- standard glasses, suitable for adults;
- glasses for children;
- glasses for adults that can be worn on top of other glasses.
From left to right: the standard glasses for adults, the children’s glasses with red arms and the EnChroma glasses with a wider frame, to be worn on top of other glasses.
