Do They Make Nighttime Driving Glasses?
I wore the yellow/amber glasses some when driving truck for a living. Dont buy those stupid wide ass things that are twice as wide as your head. Find a comfortable pair like in the links above. They do help for night driving. Now for a further trick that also works without the glasses. You need a plug in or wired in small blue light up on your dash. You can get LED strips that plug in. Get the blue. I did not come up with this but it works nicely to quell bright head lights. Give it a whirl PASig and let us know how you like that.

The inner net says blue light is bad for you. Maybe best to skip that. Go yellow lenses.

I wear very lightly tinted neutral gray polarized lens for rainy nights in particular that I can use for clear nights as well. Yellow polarized doesn't work (the polarization part). Polarization helps me for rainy nights - all kinds of reflections from everywhere in the rain.

I too have cataracts; looking into lights at night causes a starburst effect. Once the sun goes down, I am either at home or the wife does the driving.

buy drugstore glasses at 100 strength, the lowest strength they make. Will cut the halo effect and clear things up, also good for watching tv.

Been wondering myself about them speshul Tv glasses. Big Grin
Or at least something similar. Night time highway driving long trips I will often put on my sunglasses for a while. It's not just glare, it's just too bright. A little tint would be nice instead of yellow which I think would just make it worse.

I know that quite a few Asians would not find your remark humorous. Things have changed from the 1940s.

I was pointing out a slur. Evidently you do not know what that is. It is not about being woke. I guess you like being crude. LOL

I live in Chicago. For years I have seen this problem grow. I'm convinced part of the problem is "citizens" that are from 3rd World countries and still drive and act like they are back home.

I usually look at an on-coming car that is blinding me with the headlights, to see if the cars low beams are blinding or if they have the high beams on, most have the high beams on and obviously could care less about any other drivers on the road.

My eye surgeon at the Cleveland clinic suggested yellow driving glasses.

What is that tactic used when someone calls out others for things they don't like, then they use references to specific items to try and intimidate others, insinuate that they did a bad thing, then further use denigrating terms to try and force compliance with their beliefs, you know like saying they are "old out of touch", or Crude, reference "Slur", trying to generalize a person or persons identity, force them to compliance........

What is that term.......anyone, Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?

Re: high beams all the time. In Iran, e.g., their cars only have high beam or parking lights. Perhaps other countries have the same situation. Drivers would expect to use high beams when driving, and do so here.

I have some "as seen on TV" yellow glasses that are supposed to help. They do a little, slightly diffusing the lights, but I'm not actually bothered by headlights, so I don't typically wear them. I'm bothered a lot more by lack of headlights at dawn or dusk (sometimes well after dusk), or inclement weather.

My own car, and quite a few others, has DRLs (daytime running lights) that are actually the high beams, but at a reduced power/voltage. These are obviously not used at night.
