Night Driving Glasses

[AdrianH]

I have noticed that over the last year or so, I am finding the glare from oncoming headlights blinding me at times.

Now I am at the age where my eyesight is starting to deteriorate as I strain to read small text or look at things close up. I went to the optometrist and it's just the usual Presbyopia. I have reading glasses for that.

Has anybody tried those yellow-lensed glasses that supposedly help reduce glare when driving at night?

Bono has a pair.

I looked into this a while back. A Harvard study not too long ago found they make no difference in reducing glare, and in fact marginally reduce visibility / visual acuity at night because they (very marginally) reduce the amount of light reaching your retina. Don't seem to be worth the trouble or expense.

@AdrianH , you don't need glasses, you need this:

Spec savers , or any optometrist ,anti reflective coating.
I have reading glasses , and normal glasses with ARC , no need for anything else.
Only reason I have 2 is because I hate bifocals.

Does the ARC help at night to reduce headlight glare?
