I had an eye test recently and don’t have a problem with cataract or anything else but I also dislike driving at night due to being blinded by oncoming traffic. It’s often the really big cars so numerous on the roads now.

I went to my daughter's for dinner yesterday evening. It was about 8pm when i left as she needed to take a shower and get things organised for work this morning, she goes to bed around 9pm as up early for the long drive. Anyway driving home the traffic was light but what was so scarey was the headlights coming towards me. They were so dazzling i literally could not see in front of me, and a couple of times i slowed down so much because of this i was virtually stopped. I worked out it is the big high cars that many people drive now, they have white lights as apposed to yellow ones and because the lights are higher they shine right into your eyes.
I text my daughter and said no more dinners unless at lunch time or until the summer. Now i am dreading Xmas as i will be driving to my son one day and my daughter's another and it will be dark by 5pm. I have an appointment at the beginning of Nov with the eye treatment centre at our local hospital so i will be telling them about this as i wonder if it is anything to do with the cataracts forming in both eyes. If i have to give up driving i will be virtually housebound due to mobility issues and that is also a scarey thought
