Nighttime driving glasses

My friend was having great problems driving at night for a few years. Optician did not seem to be able to help. He bought some night driving glasses. Not necessarily the same as you have linked to. I think he got them from a supermarket and not expencive.
Anyway. He is very happy with them, says they help a lot.
I am having lunch with him today, I will ask for details (if I can remember).

Sort of. I have a pair of prescription glasses with magnetic yellow 'over lenses' that I keep in the car and always use for driving. I find that they work very well. As well as cutting down glare I find that they make everything appear brighter on dull overcast days.
I've tried the yellow overglasses and clip ons. I found they made very little, if any, difference. So on my experience I wouldn't recommend them. Maybe it depends on your eyes.
Slight deviation but there are a number of Blue Light glasses on the market to filter out blue light from phones and pc screens. I've not bothered to try them as there is no scientific evidence to support the stories that blue light can damage your retina.
After many years in front of coloured screens my eye sight isn't that bad even though I need glasses. My prescription hasn't changed in years.

I have tried them and at dusk, they seem to work well but when it's dark they seem to be of little use.
Here is a report.

Experts suggest that yellow lenses should not be worn when driving at night as they do not reduce the amount of glare from headlights.

That mirrors a number of articles that I have read. Best I find to avoid glare is slightly turn away from the source.I have tried them and at dusk, they seem to work well but when it's dark they seem to be of little use.

At present I have extra strong reading glasses 3.50 , so next thing will be prescription ones and then consider these night ones are appropriate for driving.
Nothing new. My father had a pair in the early 60's which would have made him about 40 so there was no medical reason. He was then driving a Morris Oxford Pininfarina 1476cc Series 5 model!
