An interesting article on how glasses designed for the medical field find an place in art.

“When I put on the glasses, I saw the warmth in my painting disappear. The image I was painting from kept its warm hues, yet mine, which appeared just as warm without glasses, changed to having a cooler ambience over the whole image, especially in the foreground.”
Sounds similar to the special green glasses Claude Monet used to wear after a cataract operation altered his vision. Look for "Roses Garden, 1922-1924" on this page for a comparison of the before and after paintings:
