Answers:
As well as alzheimers and color blindness, there are forms of macular degeneration that benefit from different colors of lenses!. Amberish/yellow ones do help some people see better, like traffic lights and other color related things!. Also, some people think that they see better at night or at dusk with them, and my husband uses his for target shooting when he is at the gun range!. Personally, they irritate me, so I shoot with clear ones!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tinted glasses can help certain color blind people differentiate different colors!. But in that case, it's usually one glass that is tinted, and usually it's a rose or green tint since red-green color blindness is the most common problem!. But I suppose if the person had the rare form of blue-yellow colorblindness, yellow tinted glasses would probably help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What Spectacle said!. For folks with macular degeneration, yellow glasses can both cut down glare but also increase contrast, allowing for better use of residual vision!.

I don't know why a colour blind person would wear them, though!. I'm an achromat, but I wear red glasses!. Someone with partial colour blindness might!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
