Here's how you can trick your eyes into seeing the world as a colorblind person.

What you do is you close your eyes really hard and you shine a flashlight right on one of them, like the flashlight on your smartphone if you have the app. You do that for about a minute and you cover the eye you had that light on to see the world normally through the eye you didn't to it do, then cover that eye and open up the eye you did it to. Here's the video where I discovered this trick from.

Or I could look around with my own eyes :^)

Wanna know how to trick your eyes into seeing the world as a blind person? Use an eyepatch, then close your other eye.

The combination will trick your brain into being blind.

Damn didn't even think of that

I bet if you use a green laser you can't see green colours afterwards too

DON'T DO THIS IT MAKES MUSTARD GAS

November 21, 2016, 05:50:56 PM

woah that's pretty cool

Alpha · November 21, 2016, 06:29:53 PM

Does it work the opposite way so I can see normally? /s

Maxine · November 22, 2016, 12:27:48 AM

it makes stuff look desaturated

as a colourblind person, this does not make me more colourblind

it's just like cranking the saturation down in photoshop and also everything seems less bright

I'm pretty sure it won't simulate colourblindness in anyone else either

shining a light in your eyes can't cause the rods in your eyes to stop functioning

it makes things look sorta different but I do not believe it actually emulates real colourblindness
