She also noted that colorblindness runs in her family. > [](https://twitter.com/GMA/status/985155814913662976) “When I gave him the glasses, I didn’t know if they were going to work or not, and as soon as he saw the color red for the first time it, was amazing,” Erin Fink said on the show. Cameron uses EnChroma glasses, which can correct a red-green color deficiency. They also showed a video of Cameron when he first put on the glasses on _Good Morning America_. Thanks to those new glasses, Cameron said he has a new favorite color: red. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5240531/colorblind-glasses-boy-sees-color/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5240531/colorblind-glasses-boy-sees-color/"},"headline":"6-Year-Old Colorblind Boy Sees Colors He 'Didn't Know Existed' With Special Glasses","datePublished":"2018-04-14T17:59:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T19:58:16.876Z","description":"EnChroma glasses can correct a red-green color deficiency","url":"https://time.com/5240531/colorblind-glasses-boy-sees-color/","keywords":["Living","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6bf44fc4f655f1d3/69892da6fb4eacfeb5896570/enchroma-colorblind-glasses.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lisa Marie Segarra","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/lisa-marie-segarra/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6bf44fc4f655f1d3/69892da6fb4eacfeb5896570/enchroma-colorblind-glasses.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The New Yorker TechFest 2016","caption":"The New Yorker TechFest 2016","creditText":"Craig Barritt—Getty Images for The New Yorker","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5240531/colorblind-glasses-boy-sees-color/","name":"6-Year-Old Colorblind Boy Sees Colors He 'Didn't Know Existed' With Special Glasses"}}]}] ```
