I don't know if it's my now 50 year old eyes getting more sensitive, or just all these newer cars with the insanely bright headlights or what, (I'm also convinced there are people that leave their high beams on the entire time now going down the highway at night) but my eyes are really starting to bother me at night while driving with all this bright light.

Is there such a thing as nighttime driving glasses to help filter this?

Kind of. Anti reflective can help. Check in with your local optometrist and get your eyes checked to make sure it’s nothing important, then discuss your night vision issues and ask what recommendations they have for lenses. The first step naturally would be to upgrade your prescription to current to eliminate any fuzziness that might contribute to the nightvision, then get some good AR- not the cheap crap, and that should help. Your O.D. will have other ideas as well.

Learn to avert your eyes down and to the right side of the road when oncoming traffic has lights in your face.

I have seen a lot of people driving recently with their brights on full time. I don't know if it's a failure of an automatic system, expectation of an automatic system, or just a failure to care about anyone but themselves, but I have to squint and look at the line on my right far too frequently.

You're not alone, as I too have the same issues. I already divert my eyes, but where I travel, the road doesn't have a white line to guide you. It is narrow & harrowing after dark. In rain, reflections male it so much worse!

I think some of it is the LED projector beams. They seem to move with every little wave in the road and sometimes that's a higher than normal beam of light toward oncoming traffic.

You don't want any tint darkening your glasses at night. But perhaps some anti-reflection coatings would help.

Could it be astigmatism?
As I have aged, my astigmatism has gotten worse.
At night, headlights, street lights, etc. all look like giant starbursts to me. Even with my glasses (Rx needs updating).

With standard red dot sights, instead of a 3MOA dot, I see a ~6MOA cluster of grapes.

I had perfect vision til my late 30’s. It’s been downhill from there.

Tee Vee is full of ads, there are several different makes and options. Might not hurt to try, you can probably find them at Kohls, Best Buy, Wal-Mart etc...

Me and my wife have the same issue. I thought about trying those yellow glasses to see if they work. My prescription glasses have a coating to prevent/lessen the "starring" affect, as I call it but I don't where them all the time and putting them on and off makes me a little queeze.

To clarify here; I do not wear any glasses but reading/computer glasses and sunglasses.

I was just wondering if there was basically such a thing as nighttime sunglasses to help with the glare and getting blinded by all these overly bright headlights.

For some reason it seems like new Toyota Corollas have stupid bright stock headlights.

When I was on the job not dimming brights was a reasonable suspicion for a DUI stop but anymore how can you tell if it is the high beams?

Cataracts can cause this problem. I too am bothered by this. It is like the lights at the ballpark coming at you. Here it is the jacked up trucks with dual sets of headlights that blast you. One was behind me the other night as I was stopped to make a turn.

I wear yellow tinted glasses. I find it helps considerably, but it is not real solution.

These are advertised as being for nighttime driving, but I've never tried them. I don't have a problem with glare at night.

Camrys as well as 2017 and new Ford Super Duty pickups with LED headlights. Really, LED brake lights and LED police lights too. Even just driving my wife’s car. It’s ok with the low beams, but the auto bright lights turn on and every street sign for a mile becomes “My God, it’s full of stars!”

Windshield needs to be clean inside and out, so does the door glass and mirrors.

I wonder if clear polarized lens are possible?

What Yooper said. Yellow shade truly helps me.
Mine are just Walmart fishing glasses but they make the night fairly bright.

Ahso, Rincolns can too!

We bought yellow driving glasses 4 years ago.

We use them mostly on long drives

My wife was the closing manager one night and was coming home very late . She passed a Police Officer sitting in the median facing oncoming traffic . After she passed him he pulled around and followed her for a mile or so and then lit her up . After the usual litany of questions she asked him why he stopped her . Slow to dim your lights he said . Ok , whatever . He walked back to his unit to run her license I guess . When he came back to her car he finally noticed the sticker on her back window . " Deputy Sheriff's Mom " ..
It's pretty obvious how that story ended .
