Normally these glasses would allow a creature to see as if it had Darkvision, allowing the user to see in black and white out to the limits of their vision while in perfect darkness. It seems as though the enchantment is failing, the item was damaged, or the item simply wasn’t created properly, as the darkvision no longer functions.
