They technically work for me. They make bright lights darker… Because they make everything darker. I can’t see anywhere near as good normally while wearing them.
That’s interesting. Mine don’t darken at all, if very little. Instead they appear to shift the light, making a white-blue turn green, and turning yellow into orange - almost red. Doesn’t help much with glare or light intensity, but the colour change means that those LEDs don’t burn into my eyes causing me to see a black spot for a few minutes.
I’ve heard to keep away from normal " yellow tinted night driving sunglasses" or fishing/daytime polarized glasses, but I don’t know the exact science.
I thought this was just a Portland thing… “surely everyone can’t be that stupid”
My latest pair of glasses have a yellow tint for this very reason
Are the glasses actually effective? Seems like the effect is controversial and perhaps detrimental.

Conversely… people can’t see as well wearing these glasses or having treated windows so their headlights get brighter… this is kind of bananas

I see this more in cities. I feel like people who drive in constantly lit streets, don’t understand when to use highbeams, because they never have to.
