Abstract
The dark red X-chrome lens, which can be worn on the nondominant eye of a person with color vision deficiency (CVD), is said to enhance color perception. We hereby report two cases of hereditary CVD in patient who had difficulty differentiating colors and had a problem with their daily tasks. The first case presented with 20/20 visual acuity (VA) with N6 in both eyes (BE) and could read 7 and 6 plates in the right eye (RE) and left eye (LE). In the second case, with a VA of 20/40 and N6 in BE, he appreciated 4 and 5 plates in RE and LE on Ishihara plates. Both cases improved to 20/25 plates after the insertion of the X-chrome lens. In conclusion, this case report highlights the efficacy of soft X-chrome lenses in ameliorating congenital CVD, particularly red-green impairments. Customized interventions, including thorough comprehension of mechanisms, patient expectation management, and lens care education, are essential. Prioritizing personalized care and ethical patient management underscores the potential of these lenses in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with CVD.
