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

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 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.
