I imagine it'll be a pain for TPE drivers too as they're predominantly east west. We have the same problem on the Holyhead services with low sun.

Sunglasses are allowed as long as they have a particular EU number reg on them. Cant remember what it is.

Reactolites don't actually seem to work in cab either. The windscreens seem to stop them working as intended for some reason.

Thats because they react to the UV not the light. Otherwise standard lighting would set them off. I had some and they wouldn't change in a car. Stick your head out the cab and you'll find that they'll work quite nicely haha

Airline pilots above the clouds and operating down to the tropics do of course have this issue to a far greater extent. They are just expected to supply their own sunglasses.

Has anyone on GWR claimed to have been dazzled by the morning sun while eastbound through Box Tunnel on 9 April?
