    Actual, hands-on, studies where you questioned and exposed people to stressors then took measures / crunched #'s, or meta-analysis of a slew of other (published) data?

    I use lenses that cut blue color from light sources at night, they are usually yellow in color and are known generally as night driving glasses. A pair of shooting glasses does the same thing as well but gives me away at night to Leos who know what they are.

    Get your eyes checked. You have to be sure your eyes are up to par. There are several reasons for that. One in particular is my personal favorite. If you are along the Red River between OK and TX, the steers grey hide has the same color as pavement and they are larger than cars. By the time you see em you can possibly total your truck against one who has escaped in the night.

    Night time is the best time to roll. No traffic to speak of anywhere. Appointments are generally prior to sunrise. When the cities get up and do the daily gridlock stop and go, we are either unloading, sleeping soundly or enjoying a good meal stress free away from it.

    My 2 cents money wise. Get an eye exam at WM. If u get a prescription, Go to zennioptical.com and get ur glasses. They sell the best for less, u can buy a half dozen for what it will cost u locally.
