Night driving any glasses to protect from LED headlights ?
I dont know if its me or many others of you but i find some car headlights coming towards be seriously dazzle me these days. Its as if some new cars headlights are brighter than full beam yet thats now their normal light output ( theyre not using full beam ) this is extremely dangerous and causes accidents.
Im wondering if any of you know of any glasses you can wear to protect from bright lights yet dont cause you to see less of the road on your side. please advise me thanks |

I have a pair of NightSight over glasses, polarised yellow anti glare lenses and designed to be worn over prescription glasses if nessesary.
Work for me Paul. |

I suggest you consider Zeiss DriveSafe prescription lenses: I've heard good things about these.

A second vote for Zeiss here. I'm on my second pair and subjectively would say they reduce glare by about a third. Not cheap - budget around £500 for photochromic varifocals in a £100 frame - but well worth it in my view!
Regards. John.

I have a couple of pairs of cheepo ones off the bay, I keep a pair in each car. 'er indoors also has some in her car and we find them more than adequate. No need to spend a lot of money on them. I have the normal frames, 'er indoors has the clip on ones as she wears glasses for driving.

Very dark sunglasses.
Side effect is that you still cannot see the road ahead, but at least you have a chance of not burning your retinas out.
