Glare from driver's side mirror

I've noticed the glare from nighttime headlights is a lot worse from the driver's side vs. the passenger's side. Are they both supposed to be tinted to reduce glare? Has anyone else experienced this difference?

Haven't really noticed if there is more glare on the driver's side. I believe that the driver's & passenger's side mirror as well as the rear view mirror all have green tint to reduce nighttime glare. I'll pay a little more attention to this tonight & will see if there is any noticeable difference....will get back to you.

i think it's because the driver's side mirror is shining the most light directly to your eyes. the rear view has less area than the side mirrors and the passenger mirror is further away from your face than the driver's
