Don't like night driving anymore especially along roads without much lighting. I bought some anti glare glasses which don't seem to make any difference. Tips anyone?

Talking to a friend about this problem and she made a point I hadn't thought of. Car lights are now much brighter than they were in the past.

I saw the optician and he said my prescription has changed since May and my cataracts are slightly worse and the left has deteriorated quicker which doesn’t help as my eyes are adjusting to light changes at different rates which might be the reason it’s so noticeable at night. So new lens in my existing frames but it still cost lots of £££s. I just hope it helps.

Also much higher. Headlights used to be at the bottom of a car and just beam upwards when on full.

Now with 4x4 and similar, headlights are at eye level on dipped and beam towards when on full.
