I have an employee that wants to get color blind correcting glasses for seeing red/green. We currently prevent test if your color blind but does anyone have suggestions about this situation? I don't know how the glasses work or how reliable they are.

We use the Ishihara Test as an initial screening tool where > 12 correct answers indicate normal color vision. There should be an improvement from their initial score with those glasses. But still, better check with HR since color-blindness fits the ADA's definition as a disability.
