Nothing in the rules about tinted vs. untinted glasses or goggles (yet), so I wouldn't worry about them.

I have seen some manufacturers claim certain tints help players see better with certain types of lights. For example, some tints help golfers see their ball better; some skiers use certain tints to block the glare off the bright white snow. It wouldn't surprise me if some manufacturer is marketing their brand of tint as being able to help players see better in most gym lighting. I really don't think it's an issue of a player trying to block other players from seeing their eyes.
