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 was made aware when I got new glasses a couple of years ago that you can get special lenses that reduce glare from lights etc, they cost a little bit more than the usual lenses and I still need to get some as the glare really bothers me too. Maybe he should speak with his opticians about getting the different lenses, or a local optician if he doesn't already have glasses.

    I got my first glasses prescription recently (slightly long sighted). I told the optometrist that I have a hard time with glare, so they gave me anti-glare lenses. They were an extra £30 each. In my experience they don't do much to reduce glare whilst driving (or in any situation). I wouldn't recommend them, as I don't think they're worth the cost.
