I am aware that sunglasses with blue and purple tints are supposedly harmful to eyes because they are energetically in the higher end of the visible light spectrum and some scientific reports say that they do not prevent, and might even cause cataracts in the eye. Does powder pink count as lower valued shade of purple or is it a variation of red (way down there near the infrared end of the spectrum)?

Pink would be between red and orange in the light spectrum and therefore be in the lower energy area. In all reality however, since the glasses are pink that means that they absorb every color except pink. Instead of absorbing the pink light it is reflected. Due to diffrent angle of reflection, light does make it threw the lens and to your eye. Dark sunglasses are the best choice for protection because they absorb all light.

I own a pair of SunCloud sunglasses with 24kt gold in the lenses. The gold gives the lenses a "rose" tint. I have not had a problem with these glasses.Of course, the lenses are optically correct, etc.and the glasses are not inexpensive, so I can't speak for the less expensive brands.
The lenses are also double gradient.
