Which Oakleys for Night Sport?

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a recommendation about which Oakleys would be good for night sports under floodlights. I play 5 aside football in the UK on a Sunday night but finding, with my visual impairment, that the glare from the lights is sometimes too much, but also that parts of the pitch lie in dim shadow, making it hard to track the ball and other players! I want a lens that can make what I'm seeing less dim but also take away some of the glare. I've heard yellow or orange lenses might be good. Would be good to know what you think would work well. I wish there was a way of trying both colours on a Sunday evening, but I don't think I can stretch to two sets of prescription lenses!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Andrew

They made prizm low light specificly for low light conditions. It was originally used during the Rio Olympics when the played sports such as volleyball at night unde lights. At the time it was called Prizm Stadium.

Now, based on your request, nothing will make dim lighting look brighter, but you can add contrast which can help a bit. Yellow and orange lenses tended to be high contrast lenses in the past so they might work as well but if the vlt is to low, it'll make the everything darker.
