This means they're more like a hearing aid (shifting frequencies you're unable to hear into the spectrum your ear can process and simply adjusting loudness) than a "cure".
I'd want to try one out for the kick of it, but I can't imagine using it the way I would use regular vision-correcting glasses (or contact lenses). Possibly as an aid for driving (where colour vision can be critical) but not as a part of my everyday life -- much like Gunnar glasses, which I only use at work.
I guess I'll have to wait for gene therapy or bionic technologies to advance to the point where I can actually get something that lets me see colours properly.
Or, heck, tweak these so they shift IR or UV into the visual spectrum and they'd have my attention.
EDIT: Emulating "normal" colour vision is interesting but emulating mantis shrimp colour vision would make the glasses worth the price tag.
