my eyes seem to be reactive to office style lights (though not outdoor light or regular house light) pretty strongly and get tired quickly. what kind of tints should i get on my glasses to help with that? there are a million different ones i saw online

"what kind of tints should i get on my glasses to help with that?"

The colour of tints showing to be effective are blue, green, red, or purple. This is based on a study recently reported by ScienceDaily on photophobia. (Colored glasses may provide light sensitivity relief post-concussion -- ScienceDaily)

The study, titled "Colored Glasses to Mitigate Photophobia Symptoms Posttraumatic Brain Injury", was published in the Journal of Athletic Training. ('https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-52.4.04')

The objective of the study was "to provide the athletic trainer with a means and method to assess whether an athlete is suffering from photophobia after concussion and to determine if colored glasses provide relief."

The results of the study were "Of the 39 patients studied who had vision symptoms, 76% complained of photophobia. Using glasses of 1 or more colors, symptoms were relieved in 85% of patients reporting photophobia. The colors that provided the most relief were blue, green, red, and purple. No adverse events were reported."
