The yellow glasses sound like they’re for night time driving although I have read that some people disagree about their usefulness for that purpose.

I believe the pink FL-41 tint mentioned in this thread was originally created for filtering out fluorescent light for people who are troubled by it. As FL-41 was developed over 20 years ago then it might not take into account the different light spectrum some more modern fluorescent tubes give out.

I think it all depends on your own particular sensitivity because this article describes a patient who found a purpleish tint was best.
