Driving glare from lights

Ruthy

Hi all.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, i can't seem to search for past posts.

My brother (44yrs old) over the past year is finding it increasingly difficult to drive at nighttime.

Glare from headlights, signs etc plus general definition of signage and pinpointing, for example, an exit on a motorway - He isn't dangerous but could do with being able to not be so very concentrated.

His eyesight has been checked (he does have mild glaucoma, which doesn't help i'm sure).

Would anyone with this difficulty, or experience of someone please be able to give me some tips or advice that i can pass onto my brother?

He has tried the yellow lenses glass and can't get on with them....thanks for your time,

Ruth.

  • I recently had new prescription glasses and asked about Zeiss driving lenses, that I had seen advertised online.  My opticians is Boots and they told me that Boots had their own version of driving lenses and they are not as costly as the Zeiss lenses.  I told the assistant, who was helping me to choose my frames, that I also wondered if the driving lenses would help reduce discomfort from the LED lighting that is used in many shops and businesses nowadays.  She told me that her colleague had them in her own glasses and this colleague confirmed that she found them beneficial, saying that the headaches she had been suffering had gone once she had the lenses.  I have had them for a few weeks now and I do find night driving is less uncomfortagle now.  I can actually look straight at the oncoming headlights now, whereas before I would feel the need to squint or turn my head away.  So yes, I can recommend them.
