Driving is becoming complicated. Is it due to headlights that are too powerful.

The older halogen bulbs have been replaced by the newer LED bulbs, which when measuring lumens could be as high as twice as bright and some manufacturers of the LED lights crank up the lumens even higher.

I have a similar problem to Aunt Bea’s issue with driving at night in rainy weather. I can barely see the erased white lines. In Virginia, it was really bad, but here in Florida many of their roads have reflectors mounted into the highway surface to aid drivers with seeing the lines. It’s much better now. There are “special” glasses drivers can buy, which do aid in night driving. That’s their claim, even though I have never used them.

Night Driving Glasses

I have tried these Night driving glasses, several types and for now they provide
no better vision for night driving. On the other hand, I know of people who get
improved vision with wearing them for night driving.

After having cataracs corrected I noticed a huge improvement. Years ago my brother taught me a little trick to use when meeting a vehicle with glaring bright lights. He told me to force my focus slightly to the right and below the the center of the glare. I've found that it works very well with night time driving.

It is a good suggestion, to force ones focus slightly to the right and
below the center of the glare. Oddly at this time does not work for
me and I sure wish it did.

My cataract surgery might be my only hope imo. Time will tell and that as it turns
out might not be till June best I just learned. Thought it would be maybe in March.
