Light hypersensitivity: Has anyone tried "migraine" or colored glasses for it? (lemmy.world)

If you have, how well has it helped? Did different colors, such as those driving yellow tinted ones, help more? I have some transitions glasses, but that only helps outside. I saw on at least one site rose colored migraine glasses and am thinking about getting a pair.

I've never thought to buy glasses for it specifically. Typically I just dim lights and set screen brightness and contrast so it doesn't bother me. I have used light regular sunglasses a little in the past when I've had to be in bright environments (bright af lab area), I recall that working OK. This is from someone who just has the light hypersensitivity (it's often called snow blindness where I'm from), in case that matters.

I generally do as well, but right even on the lowest brightness it has been an issue for me and I am planning to visit a friend who lives at high altitude and has a WALL of windows in the living room and avoiding everything is problematic. Just overall seems brighter there and I always have problems there. I am just wondering if those kinds of glasses in red, yellow or some other color would have a better experience than sunglasses would.
