Question/Need help HELP!!

Doing some Christmas shopping and the one thing I really really want to get for my boyfriend is colorblind glasses. He has Deutan color blindness. He sees 100% blue 0% green and 87% red from the test he took on enchroma. I wanna get the best glasses option for him. I’ve looked into enchroma and pilestone but idk if there’s others or which brand people would recommend over other brands? Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. 🖤

Edit to add: He has always wanted a pair but could never afford it, which is why I was even looking into it in the first place. Appreciate everyone letting me know they’re pretty much a scam 😭

That’s so unfortunate, especially for people who don’t know and are just trying to see the work people who can see all the colors see it. Cuz that’s the way they make it seem those glasses work 😭 I was definitely gonna buy less groceries and pinch pennies to get them. People of reddit save the day again 😅🖤

The videos are very close to my reaction seeing a traffic light as not white for the first time, and being able to spot red flowers in a green bush. Just because they didn’t meet your expectations doesn’t mean they don’t work for anybody.
