Blinded by the light

I have noticed recently that more cars seem to have full beam on when driving at night. Then last week I read cars are driving along with led lights (particularly Teslas) that are blinding drivers. Has anyone else noticed brighter car lights at night? If so, is there anything we can do to minimise the effect?

My husband used to wear some yellow/orange glasses for night driving ….I think he said they were for pilots !!

Yes LED headlights are dreadgul, I no longer drive at night unless absolutely necessary

I agree with you Georgesgran. My optician advised me to do exactly that and I’ve done so ever since, with no further problem with headlight-glare.

I'm with L13 & Saggi in that I bought some anti glare (yellow) specs from Amazon. Did the trick perfectly and has helped considerably with my night time driving.

My husband had the same problem. It’s worth checking with your optician just to make sure it’s not the start of Age related macular degeneration or similar. If caught quickly certain types of this eye problem can be treated.

Thank you for all the advice. I have ordered some night glasses from Amazon 👍
