I'm totally with you. I always had eye strain when on the PC but since wearing cheap orange glasses (with no dioptrine) I don't have it anymore. I can take of my glasses and within 5 minutes on the PC I notice the eye strain. It definitely works (for me, with certain glasses). I only use these glasses when at a screen, so basically it would make no sense at all to use it if it weren't helping (though I do like the orange effect ;)).
btw. just because some people don't have this particular eye strain problem, doesn't mean it's all a giant hoax. Come on, people.
Actually, yes. It was a journey starting from regulating all kinds of monitor settings (brightness, contrast etc. The "warm" setting helps too.) and then just trying out my sunglasses which actually helped but were a little too dark. So I just splurged on 20 euro blue light filter glasses (this was about 4 years ago and even back then there were reports that some glasses weren't working for people. Which is why I "trust" my orange ones more than I would uncolorized. Though I would notice in a day if they wouldn't work..)
I use nightmode + my glasses actually... nightmode alone is not sufficient for me (nightmode without glasses is ok for my smartphone use actually). I think it's important to recognize that we all have different sets of eyes and requirements.
btw. I can't put nightmode in Windows too close to 100 percent (i put it between 50-65) because then the contrast is just too bad. That's why I use nightmode+glasses. btw2: QR codes (banking) don't work in nightmode^^

I hate windows night mode. As soon as you go above "slight" (can't remember the numbers, I'm not a frequent windows user and don't have one handy to check) it gets a sickly yellow taint. Last I checked (2-3 years ago) macos's wasn't great either, although somewhat serviceable.
