Just last week I was wondering if this was possible. I hadn't heard about these glasses until today, but I was thinking about the possibility of bringing UV into the visible spectrum.
Mostly this was based on something I had read about with respect to cataract surgery. Apparently the lenses block UV from reaching the retina, but with cataract surgery that isn't the case and patients have to wear glasses to prevent excess UV from damaging the eyes. Apparently Monet [1] had cataract surgery in 1923 and his paintings from that era suggest that he was seeing something in the UV spectrum.
