I've thought about it for my home office, but I don't think I could pull off the tint in public/work without getting 90's Matrix cracks.
As far as I know they're just an anti-reflective coating and tint; so you're only getting the light from the monitor and not what's being reflected off of it, and the tint is for more warm visibility (if you don't adjust monitor tint).

@ajstringham I was told by a optimologist that they are useless. He suggested using a lower brightness level on my monitors, and it worked.
I also like this little app, which does help.

I tried flux but it doesn't work on my USB graphics card-based monitors, which is 4/7 of my displays. So...that was out. That did help but more than half my displays don't work with flux. Now, I went ahead and ordered the Gunnar glasses, after many glowing reviews from other people based on another site. Lots of people said they stopped getting headaches and eye strains, IT Pros and gamers alike, after they started using Gunnars. So here we go!

@ajstringham I just thought I would mention it. I'm more apt to follow the guidance of a guy who's job it is to study the eye and it's health for a living as opposed to a random gamer who's good a COD. Just sayin'
The strain is coming from the white light, the constant focusing of your eye and the horizontal refresh.

Neat idea.

I often crank brightness WAY down on monitors and iPads and stuff. When using my Kindle Paperwhite I often read in a dark room with the light set to "off" and the soft glow is plenty for me.
