I started noticing recently more glare while driving after dark. I decided to clean the inside of my windshield to stop the fogging as it's getting cooler. I was shocked that cleaning my windshield actually stopped the nighttime glare as well. Just suggesting something to try before spending money on glasses. 😉👍

It's a good point, unfortunately, I stay on top of my windshield cleaning and still have this problem. What I don't get is, where are the regulations in all of this? Shouldn't there be a glare factor standard for headlight manufacturers? We're talking 85% people complain about this? Instead of putting this coating on your glasses, can't they put it in your windshield? A good marketing tactic for cars, this car has anti-glare windshields.... that would peak my interest...

I bought these about a month ago and didn't realize what a huge difference they make until I wore a pair of regular glasses and had to drive. They truly are amazing. I have astigmatism in addition to poor night vision so night time is rough. These have made all the difference. I love them. I have also noticed wearing them during the day they seem to make things just a bit crisper. Just for info- I wear progressives and ordered them with that script.

In 1985 I bought a pair of Corning Serengeti sunglasses, they did the same thing, cut glare, improved contrast and a very low shading. I say did because two years ago I had to get persciption glasses. So I went to my sales person with my Serengeti's and got some lenses put in that do all of that with the UV blocking and a low yellowish tint. BIG difference in price. So not so much new technology, just new marketing.

The auto manufacturers cheat the SAE standards for light placement by dimming the center on axis section in order to pass the tests for certification The off axis = glare - this is the main problem Then you have the kelvin temp issues = blue = more glare Personally I love the morimoto d2s 5.0’s + 4300 kelvin philips or osram bulbs = correct temp for all conditions and road surfaces with the ability to place the light on the road only… Vehicle headlights have gone a step backwards since oem Led lights and now it’s become an arms race!! The other issue is that people are lazy and don’t wash their headlights often enough and they don’t refinish the aged versions often enough ( wet sand 3m plastic polish then clearcoat - only works for 12-24 months 🤮)

The city where I live just replaced the yellow sodium lights on my street with bluish-white LED lights. They're brighter and fill in the dark places better, but they are also less comfortable on the eyes. I suspect they had two reasons: (1) More efficient/less electrical consumption and (2) Longer life span. In short, it is about the money.

Many of them are now failing and turning full on purple, and because there is no stock on exact replacements it seems like they are not being replaced. Between these and the super bright headlights, I hate driving at night now.

One of the issues that I have seen several times at night is the very bright flashing lights used by emergency vehicles alongside the road, especially at night. They have more and more lights so that drivers can see them, but especially when on a curve or below a hill, the lights blind drivers when they approach one or more emergency vehicles.

Since this comes in non prescription glasses as well, can we expect clip-ons? As someone who had RK done in the 80s and currently suffers from floaters causes by posterior vitreous detachments, driving at night is currently only an option for emergency situations. It'd be nice to be able to attach clip-ons without going through the process of getting new lenses and frames.

I suspect this too-bright problem is like that when air bags first came out, or so I have heard. The initial requirements call for a bag that would stop a large man. It turned out that same force could kill a baby or small child. In this case a high intensity is seen as a good thing, so the driver can see more. But flip side is that those headlights are too bright for other drivers.

Well, as expensive as my prescription glass are, I decided to try to place my yellow lens shooting glasses over my regular prescription glasses , and they work great to :make driving at night so much easier. The only difference is the color of the traffic lights, but not by much. I can see so much better, the yellow lense just makes the green light look blue. It’s not hard to get use to, and the oncoming harsh bright halogen lights don’t blind me any more.

I got mine with a glow in the dark frame so I can see a teeny bit better at night and I look cool at night. Definitely a good purchase plus adding ypur prescription AND paying at most $56? It's definitely worth it! Hope this helps.

For those who're wondering, the night-driving option for Zenni glasses costs just shy of $40. That's not cheap but if it works as advertised, it is easily worth it. I was going to order just new close-in glasses to make reading easier given my cataracts, but when I saw Zenni's Black Friday offer for 40% off for a second pair, I added an a pair for distant viewing. That pushed the order up enough to get free shipping.

The transition is something no lens can do, indicating it's the camera that's auto adjusting. It would have been a fair comparison if your camera's exposure wasn't set on auto. The translucent frame adds more light to the overall frame and the camera dials down the exposure, creating an illusion that the light from the pole is more tolerable.

Night vision glasses do help you some. When you have night vision issues its light someone putting a flash light right in your face. Regular night vision glasses just dull the bright light a little. Night driving isn't really an issue because it's dark, it's because of the bright lights. A car light probably covers up about 25% of my vision. I have pretty poor vision and I will not drive in the dark unless I am used to driving that route. It really isn't safe for me. I try to avoid it in general.

I used to swear by Zenni but a couple years ago they started saying a Cade that should be on the page with my eyeglass prescription, but there was no code on the prescription. I asked the doctor and he said he knew nothing about a code (he was an expensive eye doctor so that frustrated me) Zenni said I could not order through them without the code because they were required to have it. No other online glass company even asked for it so I stopped going to Zenni, it was a real frustration because i liked their frames, prices and quality of work. Still not happy about it…

What about making contact lenses similar to those from the movie “ Riddick” which are “Mirrored Contact Lens” which reflects light! 🤣 What I’ve found to dramatically reduce nighttime light sensitivity while driving, I had all my vehicles windshields TINTED . DONE 💯💅🏽

Will this be helpful post-LASIKS to reduce glare, haze and halo?
@DoctorEyeHealth
@DoctorEyeHealth 7 күн бұрын
Really good question! Perhaps, theoretically, it could - but I wouldn't expect it to remove that type of glare completely. But I can see it helping at least a little. As post Lasik there is often a reduction in contrast sensitivity - and these lenses can help boost contrast.

I'd like to differ with your opinion about the blue dot reflection. It's extremely distracting, and it falls on different areas within your vision, depending upon one's prescription. So, where the dot will appear will differ from one to another. If you're one of the unlucky ones, then those reflections will appear right around the light source, and will make your vision even worse at night. I'm speaking from personal experience.

@@DoctorEyeHealth This was my experience: I went to the Zenni website and could not find any mention of pricing of the glare-reducing lenses. Not in the FAQ. They talked about frame cost but not lens cost. It seemed they wanted us to go through ordering steps to know the price. I have worn glasses for many years and know there is a big range. The frame is a big variable but beyond that we can get a decent cost estimate of lens types and treatments, either an amount or %. If it's complicated, they can give a few examples. I was only trying to know if it's $50 or $500. What's worse: After I exited the site, I was bombarded with Zenni ads on Instagram, Facebook and KZbin. Black Friday sales! Arghh.

Dr Allen do you still not recommend buying off of zenni if you have progressive/bifocals?

I want to order off of zenni but I am nervous and skeptical! I love your videos!!!!

I’m 51 and drive to work at 5am in the dark and doesn’t bother my eyes nearly as much as when I go home after dark in evening. Seems much harder to see. Tired and more traffic I’m guess makes it worse. I try not to drive at night now unless I have too. 😕

That's a great insight! I think being tired does add to it, in addition, I think of how many of the new headlights are LEDs and LEDs technically are flickering at a super high rate. I wonder if many cars showing flickering LEDs can have an additive effect on our visual system.

I have set of Zeiss Drivesafe lenses and have noticed great clarity, but the blue reflections for me are too much. Any oncoming headlights I get the blue glare off the lenses, I've found it quite distracting. Have you tried those as a comparison, and if so, is the reflective glare any different between the two? As an optician I was finally hoping for a solution for my patients, but seems like I'm still waiting. But maybe I suffer from the eye nerd issue as well, and it wouldn't bother others as much.
