I love the greens, but what I love more are the purples! My wife laughs at me for looking like a creeper staring at purple flowers in people's yards for 5 to 10 minutes at a time :P

Blue! no.. Yellow!

Honest answer. There's a part of my that wants to get super excited and rate them a 10/10. But if I look at it critically, I would rate them a 7.5/10, and I think part of that is because I live in ugly Nevada. when I tried them on in California, I was amazed at all the colors the world had! Here in Nevada, it's mostly just browns, but every time I go on a walk, I find some flowers in someone's yard that I fall in love with, or notice the paint job on a neighbor's house that I never noticed before.

When I take them off, I don't feel like a "prison" as you described it, but I do excited to go outside, and put them back on again. You are right, the cost is high (I paid $480 for mine after taxes). Had I paid closer to $300 I would say very, very worth it but at $480, I would say, yes worth it as a luxury expense. If that makes sense.

Funny story, I have this Hawaiian shirt that I loved. I thought it was a neat looking brown shirt that my wife would never let me wear. Now I understand why I will never wear it again!

That is so awesome (and sad). If it's any consolation my mom went through a similar thing. When I was about 7 we were walking through a park and she told me how sad she was that I couldn't see how beautiful the trees were. I explained to her then that I could see it, and it was beautiful. So know that your son may see things differently, but he can still see and appreciate beauty.

Without the glasses he will know what he knows and love it. With the glasses he will see a new world and love it even more.
