I'll second your recommendation to not buy these glasses. However, you don't need a miracle or replacement eyeballs. Gene therapy has already been shown to work to cure color blindness. Dr. William Hauswirth at the University of Washington did that in monkeys back in 2009, and currently has a grant to trial a gene therapy to cure achromatopsia in humans, though I have no idea how that is going. I'd guess color blindness will be curable in my lifetime.
- 14 6y agoI saw an article about nano particle injections that could allow the eye to see in infrared. I would hope colorblindness would be trivial if they could allow infrared vision but I am unsure of the challenges.
