I'm blue-green color blind. Have had a tank close to 30 years. My wife HATES my hobby, (but loves my tank) because she has to run all the chem checks. 
Glasses? don't know about them.
I am a private pilot and almost did not get my license because I could not pass the color gun test (it's a test where the tower flashes a color gun at you and you have to tell the color you see). Color gun is used to tell pilot what to do if their radio is not working.
Again I don't know about the glasses, but back in the day (I'm 60+) science had discovered a correction for blue green. It was wearing one red contact lens.
I bought one, and guess what, It Worked!
Unfortunately your brain is smarter than science. I could pass a color blindness test for about half an hour before brain got used to the tease, and brought itself back to same color blindness.
Interestingly enough (back then) the air-force would not take you for a pilot position if you were color blind, but they would take you as a ground observer because camouflage did not work, you saw through it. Colors were not what everyone else saw but color blind people saw different patterns and movement in the jungle floor thru the camouflage.
Wonder what my tank really looks like.
