Wear my sunglasses at night while driving

[Anonymous]

The proliferation of LED lights and idiots with misaligned or high beams makes driving blinding all the time.

Tonight I donned my green polarized aviators and it was such an improvement. No glare, no blinding lights, and I felt I could just see everything well. Even saw a pedestrian waiting to cross in the shadows.

They are not heavily tinted but are prescription polarized. Any way to assess if they are too dark and I’m missing something? Do they make night driving glasses or a coating recommended for applying to a prescription sunglasses ?

My ophthalmologist suggested I try those yellow tinted glasses advertised for night driving. But they didn’t really help anything for me, only making everything look kind of jaundiced.

Yeah my LLM first suggested them but then said they don’t help with LED glare.

For me it’s especially hard to judge distances like when changing lanes as the glaring sun behind me I can’t make out the car. With sunglasses I saw the car body not just light.

My sister had nighttime driving glasses (different from her daytime glasses). Your eye doctor should be able to describe why these work.

I did this twenty years ago after a wedding because my ex was too drunk to drive but they weren't nighttime glasses, they were just Rx.

I ended up hitting a curb and blowing out a tire.

Wish we'd had uber back then.

Following this because I am definitely having more trouble with oncoming LED lights. I didn’t know there were nighttime driving glasses.

I also have trouble with those oncoming lights.

Between these horrible lights that should be illegal, the people smoking weed and driving, the lack of reflective paint on roads, and people running every red light it's insanely dangerous to drive around here. Yesterday I drove right passed an accident on king street in Alexandria right after it happened find out this morning there was a fatality. With all this extra bs we don't need these blinding LEDs.

I got night driving clip ons for my regular glasses. I tried them out last night and they seemed to work well. But it was late coming home, so there wasn't that much traffic. But I was encouraged. I have a very difficult time driving at night, and always have.

The issue is the night time driving glasses seem to filter wrong colors for LED lights. So unclear if they will help

I do this too. Yes, it helps but I'm concerned I may run over a pedestrian in dark clothes or a black lab one night.

Reflective paint costs money.
