Who is Truffles? Truffles the Kitty is an ambassador for Vision. She was born in July of 2017 as a stray cat. Truffles found her forever home in the most interesting of places, an optical shop, so she's an office cat! The Crull family adopted Truffles as a feisty little furball in October of 2017.
Even at just a few months of age, Truffles already proved to be something special. She learned. Truffles is a special kitty who helps kids learn to like glasses, and helps her optician mom about colorblindness in cats.

And now, through an exclusive collaboration with EnChroma, these select frames feature EnChroma's latest lens technology which can enhance colour vision for approximately 80% of people with red. A cat's vision is similar to a human who is color blind. They can see shades of blue and green, but reds and pinks can be confusing.
These may appear more green, while purple can look like another shade of blue. Cats also don't see the same richness of hues and saturation of colors that we can. Color-blind and color-blind resin lenses are designed for the most common red-green blind and color-blind patients, which can effectively improve the vision of patients, achieve the effect of correcting color vision disorders, and improve color perception For other abilities, it provides great convenience for daily life such as art and architecture, printed chemical map identification, etc.
The process of acclimating a cat to wearing glasses would likely be time-consuming and potentially stressful for the animal. In conclusion, while colorblind glasses designed for humans can enhance color perception in individuals with color vision deficiency, it is unlikely that they would have the same effect on cats. Truffles loves helping kids and now you and your kitty can help kids too! In 2023, we posted a video of Truffles enjoying a pair of custom-made colorblindness glasses.
We actually had a huge, unexpected outpouring of interest from other cat owners, all of whom also wanted to see if their cats would enjoy their own pair of color blindness glasses.
