Lens Color

I am getting cataract surgery June 6th and am thinking ahead to what I may do about riding glasses choices. I should be able to ride with no prescription. So I have the option to buy multiple lenses or multiple glasses. I have a nice pair of prescription glasses (Wiley X Twisted) that I saved the orginal non prescription lenses for so I can have those put back in. So I have a pair of polarized blue mirror glasses.

The thing is that I ride in the early morning and sometimes before daylight. Sometimes all or half of my ride is in the dark with a headlamp. I generally choose between a pair of clear glasses and the blue mirror ones. So often they are not optimum for half of the ride with either dark glasses in the dark or clear glasses in the morning glare.

How do you deal with those conditions? Swap glasses during the ride? Photochromic lenses? What color lense do you use in riding the dark and twilight with a headlamp? Clear, yellow, amber?
