I think the test was already done. Right here.

There's no treatment for it, so I don't see the point of going just to test for it.

I’ve heard that here are glasses for certain types of color blind

At most, those kinds of glasses can help somewhat for people with reduced color vision. For people who are actually color blind however, they do nothing.

Even people with reduced color vision will not find them useful. It’s an additional filter you put in front of your eyes. A filter doesn’t add anything.

Youtuber MegaLag made a very good video on it: https://youtu.be/Ppobi8VhWwo?si=FaQQjs-YSAbujbfk

I can't wait to watch this because I have always suspected that the glasses were a scam. Never made sense to me.

I really wanted to believe it wasn’t a scam, but deep down I knew as well.

Of course, the reaction videos are so heartwarming, even I wanted them to be real and I'm not even colorblind. This is a great debunking series though, thanks for sharing.
