I think we could also use this to make people more colorblind.

Meh, I'm colorblind and I would do it for the option to see the world differently! First, though, I'd want some idea of how much the world would change.

I'm curious if a similar procedure could be used to correct for colorblindness by making one eye into the "red eye" and the other into the "green eye". Filtering and enhancing color frequencies as appropriate.

First instinct was to say no. Because you would only be able displace a color you can’t see to overlap with a color you can see, meaning you’re just shifting the color blindness around.

But the two eye solution is interesting.

I bet you could also do palette swaps for everything

You could do that with old fashioned tinted 3D movie glasses.
