Sunglasses That Could Correct Color Blindness

Looking at the diagrams [1], I see that it works by creating 3 pass-bands. I understand how it would work for natural light. But how well does it work for you with CRT/LCD monitors that simulate the color gamut using just the three primary colors? Do these glasses help you with monitors too? How well do you discern color on monitors with/without these glasses?

It doesn't seem to do anything to monitors (I just re-tested). I'm guessing because a monitor only really shows me three colors, there's no problem.

The glasses don't seem to help with distinguishing colors on monitors.

I can discern color on monitors just fine, I'm only partly deficient, not completely color-blind.

Thanks for the info. I understand that you're only partially deficient. I was merely testing a hypothesis of mine, that RGB-based image sources should not show an improvement for you.

The corollary to the above would be that CMYK-based sources should perform worse. So do color pictures in magazines, and other print material appear particularly washed out to you, and rather darker when you wear these glasses? I am not sure about color prints from film cameras.
