I have to have two pairs of filtered glasses, one pair for outside
use and one for indoor use. Each one works best for its own
purposes. If your new glasses are too dark for indoor use, you
should go back to the screener and explain the problem and have your
lenses checked and maybe be retested. If your filters work well for
outdoors, I would recommend that you keep them and get another
lighter pair for indoor use.
They always tell me that the filters should not add color to what you
see, however the filters do intensify color for me.
It is true for me that my system has calmed down a lot with the
filters, but I have not been able to go with lighter filters yet.
I hope that you get everything resolved quickly and get the relief
you need.
