Dealing With Glare When Driving at Night?

Your age? Night time is torture for me, only time I wear my prescriptions with a light tint but still bad with all the A holes with their brights coming at you or from behind

On my list this month to go to the optometrist and buy a quality pair of anti glare prescription glasses. Their around 700 but if they work it’s worth it.

I’ve tried the clip ones but they create a glare between my prescriptions and the clip which is twice as bad.

I don’t need my prescriptions during the day nor for my DL test, just helps a little at night with the light tint.

 

I do most my driving at night .. I have tinted windows and wear a good pair of lightly shaded sun glasses.. I have a pair of regular cheap sunglasses for day time driving ..
I'am in my early 50's and it started bothering me 4 or 5 years ago .. the tinted windows really helped

 

Turn your big mirrors in or out to keep the lights off you from behind and turn your high beams on when you see something too bright coming towards you.

 

Is your windshield new? Is it sandblasted? They don't last forever you know....or a greasy film on the inside.

 

I used to use rain-ex and I found out it made the glare much worse. That was a few years back , they could have improved it, but if you use it stopping may help. I wear antiglare glasses also.

Tough to beat this , you don’t notice your eyes are going bad until you deal with these nighttime lights .
Bifocals and frame upgrades are minimal along with light tints. 2 Pairs for $79.95 at America's Best

 

If I get some Volvo behind me with a shaking bright light bar I play hide from my adjustable side mirror as they pass me as I refract their lights at them.

Their too dumb to notice but it provides me entertainment.

99% of the time if I have jackweed with his brights close behind me I slow down and let ‘‘em pass

 

When I was driving mainly at night I tried the various colors of tinted glasses... But I found that they also greatly hindered my ability to see detail. The loss of detail spooked me so I quit using them.

My best advise... Dont look into any light source. Focus on the fog line when traffic approaches, adjust mirrors so they dont reflect the light into your face. Use your hand to partially block the really bright headlights.
