Is there anything I can do to improve my vision partially like glasses/contacts or surgery? I know theres no cure 'cause it's genetic but i want to double check for the partial cure.

There are certain tricks whch can help for particular tasks.
(depending on your exact version of colour vision anomaly: there are several)
For example, faced by a red and a green wire (or pencils, or...) that look the same, glancing through a red filter will give you the difference: the green one will go black.
Unfortunately, wearing red-tinted glasses permanently doesn't work: the eyes light adapt and the effect is lost until the eyes are re-adapted to normal light.
A more sophisticated version of this involves wearing one specially coloured contact lens
There, at least for some people, the difference in colour perceived by the two eys provides, not true colour vision, but a "lustre" than can help discriminating between difficult colours.
The best-known of these is the X-Chrom lens:
"A colour filter 74% water content soft lens intended to improve colour discrimination when worn by people who have a red-green colour deficiency ...
X-Chrom lenses have a dark red pupil
Pupil diameter may be varied to suit individual needs
Available in 74% water content material to any dimensions...
A hard (PMMA) form of X-Chrom is available to order"
