Watched the whole thing.
So, my partner is a strong duetan, and is has been a hindrance in her life for a long time, and she’s trying to get into a career right now that strongly involves colour.
We drove out of our way to “trial” a pair of the glasses, and during the Xmas period, we roamed a Kmart with them on, initially, she said she didn’t notice much difference, but as we roamed more, she said she could see more and more discrepancies, looking at colour palettes, oranges and greenblues. We rented them for half an hour, and she said she loved them, so I bought a prescription pair, and they should be arriving in 3 days. We’ve been super excited to get them, and hope they help with her life, they did cost quite a lot, but we do also have the option of returning them if we feel they don’t work as stated here. But I do believe her that they changed what kinds of hues and the distinctions she saw between them, so I’m still keeping my hopes up, despite watching this video damning them and enchroma to hell and back. I really want to believe they’ll help her out in her life and future career.

I think the main issue is that people expect a magic fix. This is a common problem in the world today. Many things are massively overhyped and then turn out to be a huge disappointment to many people because they are not as perfect as the hype lead them to belive.
I belive these glasses can be a useful tool to some one that struggles with color blindness. But just that. A tool. Not a fix. By understand what these glasses can actualy do and their limitations someone with color blindness can potentially get a lot more information what the hues and colors they wouod normally struggle with. They won't however maks them suddenly see in perfect color.
I hope they help your wife, and I belive that if she uses them as an aid, not a fix, they will help her a lot.
Best of luck.
