tinted lenses

Darkened glasses worn

Tinted lenses are eyeglass or sunglass lenses with color added to reduce light transmission or alter color perception.

Sunglasses have dark tints; specialized lenses may be yellow for contrast or blue for screen work.

Figuratively, to see through tinted lenses is to view things with bias: She sees the past through rose-tinted lenses.
