Lenses For Driving At Night – Daylight Vision Without Squinting
We have all been there, squinting past headlights and streetlamps during the drive home at night. And as specialist optometrists, one of the most common complaints we hear from our patients is that they can often struggle to drive at night.
“Nine-in-10 drivers (89%) think some or most car headlights on the UK’s roads are too bright, with an overwhelming majority of these (88%) saying they get dazzled by them while driving, a new RAC study of 2,700 drivers’ views has found.*”
It is not uncommon knowledge that our vision is not great when it’s dark, but with modern driving conditions, this has become progressively more of an issue. As it gets dark, our eyes become more sensitive to light. As a result, reflections are more noticeable and perceived as glare.
Not only are there more cars on the road, but those cars also tend to have significantly brighter headlights. The result is intense light directly into our eyes contrasting against the dark. The good news is, there are now lens technologies designed to improve comfort and safety on the roads at night. Our number one tip? Invest in high-quality lenses with the Nikon SeeCoat Drive coating.
