A heart-pounding film has captured the moment an 80-year-old saw color for the first time after his grandchildren gave him color-blind glasses for Christmas
The video begins with the 80-year-old man sitting in an armchair opening a box.
‘Glass glasses of color,’ he says, with a heavy smile on his face as he lifts off the cover.
A woman ‘s voice can be heard off the camera saying:’ I remembered. ‘
A male voice is heard saying: ‘They should be kinda cool. Open them up, Try them forward. ‘
Meason then takes the pink glasses out of the box and hands them to someone nearby while they say ‘wow. ‘
He says he could ‘fly a jet’ with the pink shapes in aviator style as his family call it ‘they look cool’.
Meason takes the glasses and puts them on.
He looks around in panic for a few seconds before saying ‘do you call me? ‘because he sees color for the first time through the special lenses.
