#ColorForAll: Thanks to unique glasses, color blind teen and his grandpa see certain colors for the first time

YORK, Pennsylvania -- A teenager and his grandpa are seeing certain colors for the first time thanks to technology and a contest.

Kohen Stover’s parents heard about a nationwide contest being conducted by Clorox, and EnChroma.

EnChroma makes glasses that help color blind people see more colors.

Stover had to submit a video, which you can see just below:

Out of 200 submissions, Stover won and asked if he could have a pair of glasses for his grandpa too. The companies agreed.

“I thought it`d be cool because we have the same color blindness -- and we can now see the same colors as each other,” said Stover.

On Friday evening, December 4th, at the York Galleria, the family gathered in front of the Santa display. Stover and his grandpa are not able to see bright red -- and the family felt the setting would be right for them to try on the glasses for the first time.

Stover actually surprised his grandpa, Larry Boozer, with the glasses. Boozer has spent 75 years unable to see certain colors!

Boozer could not hold back the happy tears as he said “wow” and took a look around.

“Never seen a rainbow, other than the yellow and part of the orange. No other color. Never seen a sunset,” said Boozer.

“My son and my dad are going to really get to appreciate nature, which I love so much, and see all the colors,” said Kohen’s mother Kellie Stover.

Kellie Stover joked that as a teenager, she got mad at her dad so she rearranged his sock drawer. She knew he could not tell the difference between navy, brown and black. He ended up wearing mismatched socks to meet with a client. The client laughed, but her dad was mad.

Now, she cannot get away with stuff like that!

Kohen Stover called the experience “wicked."

For the first time, he's able to see Ravens purple.

Bleacher Bums even gave him a Ravens hat and hooded sweatshirt.

“I never get to see them running down the field. We have season tickets right behind the end zone and I never get to see them,” said Stover.

The glasses are mostly meant for outdoors. Stover can even play sports in them. They were developed by Dr. Don Pherson and his team. They do have a bit of a back log, but are available to people for about $400.
