Anti-glare night driving glasses/clip-ons

[Mottie]

Mrs Mottie has trouble with led headlamps partially blinding her when driving at night. She wears glasses for night driving anyway but I was thinking of getting her some of those clip on yellow night glasses. Is anyone using them on here? Any recommendation’s?

Since I had my cataracts replaced some 10yrs back, I gave up night driving due to the excessive glare and the ultra-bright headlamps. I did try those antiglare clip-ons but for me they made my night vision worse.

She needs to test her colour sensitivity. We basically have more receptors of one colour than the other, which means for some orange tint is better than yellow.

I used to use a yellow insert on the motorbike helmet. Made a massive difference night riding.

I also use yellow for night sailing. Same benefit.

The ever increasing brightness of these LEDs is getting stupid but I think it will just add 2 extra surfaces for reflections and grease and dust making it worse

If all that is so, why then do soldiers use green in night vision eqpt.?

If she wears prescription glasses, get the anti glare coating on her next pair . Foregt the clip on things.

i used to have some antiglare glasses years ago when i was much younger and loved them , not so much LED lights just the antiglare - they broke a couple of years ago and been looking eversince tried a few and NO Good - But in the summer i managed to find a pair and use them all the time , excellent for daytime driving , makes the Yellows and reds realy stand out and takes all the glare out - and on a suny day if you go into shadow - they are still fine and you dont get that blackness like normal sungalsses

so they maybe OK , as i say I tried a few before i found these

Also a lot of antglare glasses are NOT suitable for night driving - so check that too

Polarised is likely what you're after.
They make all driving a lot less tiresome.
And the polarisation is not dependent on the level of tint, so you can have barely-tinted polarised through to welding-mask-dark-polarised.

thanks
BUT

But in the summer i managed to find a pair and use them all the time

so already have a set myself
Also i thought polarised can be an issue a night

trouble with led headlamps partially blinding her when driving at night ....

but I was thinking of getting her some of those clip on yellow night glasses.

Hence i mentioned the ones i have

Nobody is suggesting a filter to drive more light in to your colour receptors is equivalent to night vision light amplification.

Surely you understood that?

I did.
