walmart in the sporting goods section, there are safety glasses for shooting for around $5. They even come in a plastic case to keep them in.

Unfortunately yellow/amber lenses only give the perception of being able to see better.

A google search of
what color glasses night time
returns a number of technical or scientific results

I wear clear, I wear safety glasses all the time at work and have tried yellow and blue there and they always mess with my eyes, usually giving me headaches. Also get the clear ones for free from work. Can't go wrong with something thats free and works great.

I wear a light weight set of frames by Tifosi Optics with smoked, amber, and clear interchangeable lenses, The frames have rubber on the bridge and the arms, which keeps the frames from slipping. They run about $60, but imo they're worth every penny.
