I Tried the NEW Zenni Night Driving Glasses

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Have you ever tried night driving glasses before? How did they work for you? Thank you to Zenni for Sponsoring this video www.zennioptical.com/b/night-driving-glasses

[@lisakagay5595]

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. 😉👍

[@esbb4u]

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...

[@MikesWife703]

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.

Is the yellow tint noticeable at all?

[@jamesduncan578]

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.

I love how we install lights that we then have to buy a product to filter out in order to see clearly. Why don't we just install lights that don't glare, and don't have as much blue light instead?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Well said. Also 100 points for your great avatar!

[@07wrxtr1]

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 🤮)

[@Inkling777]

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.

[@gukid]

@@Inkling777 My city did the same. Most of them are exposed 4000k LEDs and really bother my eyes (as does any really bright/high glare light). 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.

[@jamesduncan578]

I’m just happy to know that it’s not just my astigmatism and early cataracts, car headlights really are way too bright. Making sure my windshield and glasses are clean has actually made a big difference. Will check into these. Thanks!

[@MikeMapes-nc3qu]

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.

[@eldnah2]

I'm guessing the police might pull a driver over for having their high beams on, but don't account for their own blinding roof rack lights.

[@debbylou5729]

Then you need to slow down, which is the point

[@Inkling777]

@@eldnah2 A good point. Perhaps the makers of roof lights for police and emergency vehicles need to provide low, medium and high intensities. Only use the high in daytime or when a driver doesn't seem to notice them.

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

​@@debbylou5729 That doesn't resolve the safety concern of visually impairing drivers to get their attention. The lights should be bright enough to alert to emergency vehicle presence in various conditions, but not so bright that it causes temporary visual impairment as the current lights undoubtedly do.

Wouldn't it be great if we designed headlights so that they didn't create the problem in the first place?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

100% yes

[@Inkling777]

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.

[@Asylus]

Whats funny is that there is already a solution, but the US was too stubborn to allow it. In europe they have smart headlights that adjust to only illuminate parts of the road that arent illuminated, thus keeping them from blinding people. You can thank people in power for their negligence.

[@only1muppet]

Google this, you’ll find some really interesting information. “Asleep at the Wheel in the Headlight Brightness Wars” The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industry itself?

[@tiggerktd]

Saw this video a month ago - it was actually your first video that I saw. With my astigmatism and large pupils, oncoming headlights caused pain throughout my eyes and even behind. I decided to try some of these zenni glasses, and the difference is amazing. Thank you!

[@johnmcclintock4482]

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.

[@lorizrhythm8171]

@johnmcclintock4482 - I have a detached vitreous fluid as well on one eye with really bad floaters and shadows in both eyes and I am supposed to have surgery but I don't trust doctors ONE BIT nowadays so I haven't done it. Years and years of rubbing my allergy eyes since I was a kid caused this for me. Reading glasses aren't supposed to help this for driving, but it does for me because having a detached vitreous fluid in my eye isn't the norm anyway. so weird things work.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

These new headlights are unsafe- way too bright.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I agree it is a bit ridiculous.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

@DoctorEyeHealth we did fine with clickers on the floor, halogen wasn't even as bad as some of these. Can people no longer see and need ultra highbeams on all the time?

[@lyfandeth]

That's usually from some nimrod that "improved" them incorrectly, not a fault of the factory lights. And headlight aim IS supposed to be adjusted annually, it used to be part of annual inspections.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

@lyfandeth You don't need to see five miles down the road like it's noon to drive.

[@raraavis7782]

Couldn't agree more. I don't understand why it's allowed to have headlights, that basically blind people going in the opposite direction. And I have perfectly fine night vision.

[@MrYrodz]

When you alternately showed the image through the lens and without it, your camera had an automatic exposure and ISO selection mode, which made it impossible to perceive how these images differed.

[@Tyrannocaster]

My thought, too.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Really appreciate that feedback. Yeah I had some thoughts about settings but was not sure how to set it appropriately. Any suggestions? Perhaps I can post some other content to show better side by side images/video. I am using a Sony A7IV

[@Tyrannocaster]

@@DoctorEyeHealth Does that camera have a manual mode? That would be a better choice than auto or program for this particular situation.

[@Inkling777]

The automatic exposure may have toned down the difference, but even before you mentioned it I noticed the improved contrast/clarity. I was impressed enough with that, I went to Zenni to order one as a reading glass. Seeing that as part of Black Friday they were offering 40% off for a second pair, I also ordered a distance pair.

[@MrYrodz]

@@Inkling777 I will be glad if these glasses help you somehow, but to be honest, I don’t understand what principle they work on and I suspect that this is some kind of marketing nonsense and a placebo effect.

[@bakokat6982]

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.

You bring up a good point when you mention cataracts. My mild cataracts don't cause any problems with my distant vision, but they are making reading harder.

[@paulwalther5237]

Personally I find that having a good "strong" prescription is by far the best thing for night driving. If you have a little astigmatism or the prescription is a little weaker maybe because you typically don't like a strong prescription particularly if you do a lot of up close work then you shouldn't be surprised that you struggle driving at night. I usually just let my optometrist do their thing but earlier this year I was just fed up and went to see a new optometrist (albeit a budget option at a chain store) and said I needed a new prescription JUST FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. I specifically told her that I'd rather have these glasses be a little stronger if in doubt to make sure I'm seeing the best for distance at night. I would happily get a 2nd pair of glasses with a slightly weaker prescription for other activities. I was concerned that my old, dry, lasered eyes might not be able to handle night driving anymore but the prescription she gave me seemed to work quite well. I don't use it for the computer or hanging out at home though. I use a slightly weaker prescription for that because it's all up close stuff. I heard that blue light lenses (with the yellow lenses) were good for driving at night. I got them for the computer and tried them driving but it actually seemed worse for me. Getting a stronger (better) prescription made all the difference. Actually, Zenni helps make this possible for me by offering quality glasses at a reasonable price so I can get multiple pairs with different prescriptions. Back in the day it was one pair with one prescription because that's all I could afford. I've also noticed a lot of drivers just drive with their brights turned on high too which doesn't help. They literally don't care that they're blinding on coming traffic. All they care is that it helps them see better. One of my eye doctors recently told me that when I got laser eye surgery I effectively destroyed the ability to perceive contrast in my eyes. Water under the bridge. I'm not a fan of laser eye surgery.

Have had a set for a month or so in my distance prescription -- they certainly do help for night driving with improved contrast and reduced glare - especially on darker roads and freeway driving. I drive a lot of 2 lane highways with a lot of high-beam users and the blue shimmer was freaky the first time I saw it, but I've started to get more used to it. All newer cars with LED headlights leave a number of blue shimmers around their headlights, fog lights and sometimes parking lights. Almost like holiday sparkle. Traditional halogen or filament bulbs do not.

I didn’t know these came out. I’ll have to get me a pair to try out. I hate low light driving and winter is the worst time of year.

[@katiemcteague]

My progressive prescription glasses are very expensive. Do they have the style that you can fit over your glasses like a lot of the blue blocker glasses? It'd be much easier to just throw them on over my glasses when I'm driving then to pay money for a whole new prescription and frame.

[@tomstickland]

I found that the cheap yellow glasses on Amazon work well. Boulevard brand. I need a light yellow tint to filter out some of the blue in the LED headlights.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Nice! I have not heard of that brand.

[@savingchase]

Can you (or anyone) recommend a similar product available as fit-overs? I'm extremely myopic so there's a limit on what I can get my prescription in, and don't want to buy prescription ones I may not like the feel of. I have had three relatively short bouts of anterior uveitis the last three years and even between flares I am increasingly light sensitive to the point it interferes with my life a lot. In the sun I put on sunglasses and a bucket hat and can manage somewhat, but at night the LED headlights cause so much pain. They also suck for the cataract in my one eye, but I know glasses won't help that. I used to love driving/cars and am honestly so depressed by how difficult and painful driving at night is, and there are more LEDs headlights on the road it seems every day. Even the brake lights are painful. I also struggle to enjoy concerts, which used to be a passion for me, because of the stage lights and wonder if glasses like this would help with that. I am in a lot of car enthusiast groups and have to hold back my rage whenever someone brags about putting LED headlights in their car ... self-centered to the maximum.

[@Intwodeep902]

What your thoughts? On the Oakley ones like this?

[@msblessedIAM]

I do food and grocery deliveries . Also work A full time so that leaves little time after work to do any only because it get darker , at this time 7 pm ish... I wear contacts and reading glasses. At night its hard to see house numbers. The extra contrast would be very good for me. I guess I would probably need some clip on since I'm wearing reading glasses to read. I would only use the night time lenses / glasses at night. I'm gonna take a look at this site using your affiliate link. Thanks for the video.

Super Clean the windshield help improve my driving experience A LOT. (I Drive a lot, delivery driver)

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thanks for the heads up on the Zennis. 👍♥️

[@MortgageMo]

I have retinopathy and it's been helpful

[@mikeb6389]

How does this compare to blue light blocking glasses?

[@FittysEyewear]

Learned a lot on this one, as usual! Thank you!!

[@genet6255]

I purchased standard night driving glasses. They did not work for me, they just made the night lights brown. I'm going to try these new ones from Zenni.

[@Loraxsix]

Was curious about these! The light FL-41 lenses help with headlights.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I have another doctor friend who specializes in neuro optometry who recommends Fl-41. I hope to do some more videos on that.

[@mikemiller774]

The worst glare is when driving after sunset in a city full of light while it's raining. It's just sparkling everywhere. For this case i have ones with yellow, anti-glare coating glass (plastic). Only issue i found is that white lines on road sometimes are less visible.

[@saikanonojutsu]

I can't see any change in glare in any of the examples you did

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

It is subtle with the camera shots, not sure if its purely because the camera sensor is not as good as my eye or perhaps settings. But I had my videographer check them out and another eye doctor and they all agreed they did cut down the glare bloom. More so on some lights than others. But I also wanted to show the true difference in the video - I didnt want to "doctor" the video shots to look like it is more effective than it is. If that makes sense.

[@saikanonojutsu]

@DoctorEyeHealth no, that was the right decision. I use yellow shooting glasses after lasik bc the night glare is mfn awful, so I'll try anything that might help.

[@johnspencer5062]

Great video, thanks for putting this type of material up, very helpful. interesting discussion in comments it has provoked.

[@mo7am]

Thanks 🙏🏻 from Yemen 🇾🇪 I appreciate your lighting me 😎

[@scotboy1297]

Being a photographer, would like this available in a screw on filter for my lenses, to enhance details at night time photos.

[@maxaroney]

Actually, have these glasses and yes, they do help with nighttime glare.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thanks for the feedback!!!!

[@forgingluck]

I properly aligned my led's but I still get flashed by oncoming drivers. Too bad I don't have the cash to replace them with high quality ones that don't have the splash that these do.

[@dancrumbo5922]

Were you compensated by Zenni for this review AND/OR just received comp review pairs?

[@Hellgie1]

How is this new technology? I've been using driveware for over a decade. They work great!

[@jessj326]

I may try these! I’ve been using Gunnars for several years.

[@annahanu1808]

What if you need to wear prescription eyeglasses for distance vision?

[@knitsandnature]

If you have an astigmatism you’ll need glasses to help with the glare aswell - well it considerably helped me

[@GoldenFrizbee]

I just get the nighttime clip ons for my current zenni prescription glasses 😎

[@divermike8943]

Polarization helps the most. I have clip-ons that are polarized and lightly tinted yellow. Polarization removes a lot of the glare. Why are polarized night driving glasses so hard to find???????

[@RobertJorde]

Zenni has mens glasses with tinted polarized magnetic and regular clip ons , they are great in that the clip ons are cheap and you can try several different tints.

[@aaronrucinski7006]

i have them, they make an entire worldly difference if you have an astigmatism i don't have that nasty glare effect from cars anymore 100% recommended use them as my every day glasses because i cant notice a difference anyway just at night is when you see the effects of the technology really do its thing.

[@timlwin]

Will this be helpful post-LASIKS to reduce glare, haze and halo?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

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.

[@aiisagulko121]

Do they make a pair that either clips on or can be worn over my progressive eyeglasses? The led lights are awful, and i cannot afford a 2nd pair of glasses.

[@LioIntoVideos]

Me who had ReLEx SMILE eye surgery but still visits the channel regardless of me not needing any kind of vision correctionn anymore. 🤗

[@devilman2465]

I'll have to look into those glasses. I have terrible night vision and only go out at night 3 time a year.

[@ThrowawayAccount-gi2uq]

I was suggested to get anyi reflective coating for night time driving, but thos video wxplained why their new lenses are superior and worth the cost. Thanks so much! Dontou know if these work as "blue light" blocking lenses?

[@ThebelgiumgamerFTW]

would these help for people with nightblindness in non driving scenarios? I am personally suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa

[@BAR55825]

So these Zenni lenses can be integrated into our prescription glasses? This is very good to know and thank you Doc for sharing all your helpful knowledge with us. 😊♥️

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thank you! Zenni is now offering this type of lens, it comes in prescription lenses - yes. I am not sure if other local in-store optical shops have this same type of technology. I have not seen it before, but perhaps there are other similar designs.

[@BAR55825]

@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you 😌♥

[@sonhoang7357]

Thanks Dr Allen 👍❤️

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@scottlink183]

This video felt like an infomerial for the product. No test in real time driving?

[@maryg.7790]

Thank you so much for this review! I had been on the fence about buying a pair.🤓

[@maryg.7790]

Got my pair and have used them for 2 weeks.....they do work to sharpen up my field of vision! Its not life altering but I have to get them on if I forget and head out in the dark. $ 42 and I think they are worth it!

[@dakotajarvis5356]

Question.. when you do IPL do you perform it on uppers and lowers and do you probe or express? Thanks for all of your videos.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I believe in the expression of some form. We usually follow the Toyos or Periman protocol, and it is often even bundled with RadioFrequency treatments at times.
