Are the glasses actually effective? Seems like the effect is controversial and perhaps detrimental.

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.

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

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 did it mainly for looks. It's a vanity tint more than anything. The white/blue LED lights are a tinge more yellow and seem less painful, but it's still ridiculous that it's even a consideration
