Glare

I agree it's more of a problem than ever these days with so many seemingly badly adjusted headlights and drivers who seem unable to understand the concept of dipped lights. I've no knowledge of the glasses folk have mentioned but my instructor, some 40 years ago gave me a tip which is to focus on the nearside verge to avoid being dazzled. Not very scientific, I know, but it's always worked so far!

I was given that advice too moulsey!  and I like it. 

Yellow/orange lenses are also great in foggy conditions - they give you just a bit more space to see things than without.  I try not to drive in fog but use the lenses more in fog than night glare (I dont drive that much at night either). 

This thread interested me so I googled the subject and there are loads on the  "usual"  selling channels. I would however need the clip on version so I still have the correction of my normal specs. They seemed inexpensive, but how effective they are?  I need to give them a try.

I have anti glare coating on my prescription glasses that is brilliant. The yellow glasses people are talking about do reduce the glare from lights but also reduce your vision at the same time, would be interesting where you would stand in the event of an accident.

I have the anti glare coating ,on my prescription varifocal glasses,but the yellow lenses on my night driving glasses are far superior, as that is what they specifically for,as they take night glare out all the time rather than the alteration in anti glare lenses

I would not use them over my normal glasses,if you have lenses that darken in bright light 

Nuggy I have found some yellow lenses to wear on top of my varifocals that give me good vision in all conditions - clip ons would work well too.  Well worth trying some I would say - I have anti glare but it isn''t enough.  Incidentally - I believe that catarracts cause GLARE problems - so be sure to check that out.

I wear glasses, I always have Anti-Glare added to the lens.

doesn't this restrict your visibility in normal circumstances?

what about if you wear varifocals?

Write your comments here...My glasses are varifocals which I always wear. I have a restriction on my license which states I must wear glasses when driving.

Whilst everyone is talking about using glasses of various sorts it is important to also remember to make sure that the windscreen is absolutely clean. In wet periods there will be a lot of 'spray' thrown off the road which will include some oily content. This will make dazzle more pronounced. Don't just rely on the screenwash in the car as almost certainly it will still leave a minute film on the windscreen. A good polish with an old dry newspaper about once a week usually works wonders.

Hi Adikia

As promised in my earlier post - Sky, channel 659, bestdirect.co.uk, priced at £30.

A yellow coloured visor that clips onto your cars visor and flips down when needed.  I don't have one, so cannot comment on their effectiveness.

best of luck
