This is accurate. Most likely you have a mild form of CVD, where some of the rods in your eyes overlap in their light frequency response. This makes it hard to distinguish colours containing that frequency range, because multiple cones respond to them when only one should.

The glasses actually work by completely blocking out the light in those overlapping frequency ranges. This will help to avoid the confusion between the cones, and could help you better distinguish colours containing components in those ranges. That’s also why the glasses have this pink hue in the video. By removing some colours from white light, the remaining ones combine into pink-ish light.

Obviously, you cannot restore normal colour vision by blocking out even more colours. The marketing from enchroma is pretty scummy.
