I too have TED which makes my eyes very light sensitive and I wear photochromatic glasses. However I find I need to put sunglasses over them sometimes even indoors to get relief. You will probably find like me they just aren't dark enough. Sunglasses that wrap right round are much better

Have you considered Polaroid, photochromatic lenses? The Polaroid element reduces glare which photochromatic alone does not.
