Default Any suggestions for glasses tint that may help with bright light & glare?
I have a problem with glare coming into buildings from bright windows and glare from computer screens. Has anyone found a tint for glasses that might help with this? It seems that there are many different kinds and colors.

Thank you

These were recommended by my doctors and do help (by help I mean increase the time before symptoms).

Default Suggestion,
Might pay to make an appointment with a behavioural optometrist or like who would put you through a series of tests to determine which lens best suits. Makes a power of difference when you get the right lens. Sadly there is not a one for all . . . .

Best of,

My photo sensitive lens on the new prescription are a gray tint.

I wish they were darker and they don't change behind glass.

I was just prescribed FL 41 as a tint for my glasses. Has anyone used this? They are light purple for indoors and darker for outdoors. Don't have them yet. Expensive to purchase for Canadians with exchange and taxes...

I'm going to look into that...I want something darker.

I'm not real happy with my new glasses. I see green lights double with them and head lights have a lot of rays emanating from them.

I actually see clearer with my naked eyes and when tired or busy activity around I go back to my prism glasses...my eyes seem to relax with them on around a lot of motion.
