Definitely see your ophthalmologist. That being said, sunglasses with polarized lenses, such as skiers and boaters use, may help.

Have your optometryst check for cataracs.

I have anti-glare coating on my glasses and that helps.

All of my Doctors suggest that I get the anti-glared (going on 10 years now, my sunglasses have them to. I use to wear the blu-blockers at night for( night blindness). Tonight I drove 60 miles in darkness and no trouble with the sunglasses. On coming cars stay in their lane and I in mine. The headlights do not look like stars.

An eye exam would probably go a long way to easing you mind and probably discovering the cause and solution to your difficulties. Keep us updated.

Night driving really bothers me now, especially when it is raining.

No cataracts here - but have had night blindness all my life. Others have said it was all in my mind, but it is terrifying either to drive, or even being a passenger. I have driven off the roads before and it feels like I am in a closet with my eyes closed and have no idea what is around me/ As a passenger, it appears that the cars coming from the other direction are coming straight toward us which forces an anxiety attack=====I do NOT go out after dark-----------------others just don't understand - it is awful!

I switched to non glare lenses in my glasses and I wear amber colored sunglasses all the time. Supposedly there are amber colored "night" glasses for night driving.

please have your eyes checked, that was happening to me and I had a cataract in my right eye, got it fixed 3 years ago good to go. At last eye exam they found one in left eye, will be having that one done after 1st of the year. Take care of yourself.

Clean the glass in your car extremely well both inside and out. Don't forget to clean all of the mirrors as well. You will be surprised how much this helps. An unnoticeable film on the glass will become nearly impenetrable in bright light.
