at last a report on those bright LED lights

I’m glad you posted that MayBee70. I’ve also got astigmatism, which increases glare anyway, and I wasn’t aware that you could get glasses specifically designed to stop the glare from LED lights, so that’s really helpful, I will ask my optician.

I think only boots do them; although they said there may be other opticians. I get my glasses in a couple of weeks so I’ll be able to try them out. I’m also having something called photo fusion for daytime glare. To be honest I’m totally confused about all the things my new glasses have got. Thankfully we get a staff discount from Boots or I would have been in the situation I was in a few years ago with a new tooth ( after having root canal work done) in which my driving glasses will actually be worth more than my car!

Let us know how you get on, as I think a lot of drivers have these problems.

I have just got back from a short drive on roads which are familiar to me in daylight, though I have rarely driven on them after dark. It made me want to not do that journey again.

I do drive at night, but to three specific places where I know the roads like the back of my hand. It means that when faced with oncoming LED lights I can avert my eyes and keep sight of the kerb., which helps. My next car will need to be higher.

These lights need to be modified, and regulated like by an MOT every year.

Drove an hour home from hospital tonight in the dark. Like Cabbie21 I know the road well in daylight but leaving a bright hospital and driving on dark minor roads was not good. So many vehicles don’t dip their lights and almost blind you.

I no longer drive at night. I have a small car and I am blinded by lights coming towards me and lights on cars behind me reflecting on my driving mirror. For my safety and others I no longer drive in the dark. I am looking forward to the clocks changing.

These lights are dreadful, even worse when it's raining. I have just bought the police recommended night driving glasses, they fit snuggly over my varifocals and my goodness what a difference,no glare, just a yellow headlight seen. Vision still excellent through them, also good for early morning sun glare. 20 pounds well spent. In fact so comfortable, my granddaughter had to tell me I still had them on when I got out of the car!

Can you do a link to them Freya? I keep seeing lots of different ones advertised.
