Do you have trouble with light when you drive?

I have this problem as well - one eye lets in too much light so not only do I have sunlight reactive glasses they also have an anti glare coating on them hasn't - stopped the problem totally but has made a big difference especially at night

Those sun visors in the car help, but they don't cover the spot where the inside rear-view mirror is.
And at night, the glare from headlights and even traffic lights is really getting to me.
What about you, and do you have any advice?

I had cataracts, I was night blind - couldn't see the nose in front of my face - light was so terribly blaring - Ophthamologist said he recommended TRANSITION lenses. OMG, are they fantastic. Goes from regular glasses into sunglasses. You don't even realize it. I can even sit outside and sew and not even realize that I have sunglasses on.
The lights that drive me up the wall are the foreign cars with those white lights. I hate those things. I think if we are used to the "yellow" lights, we should keep them in ALL cars. But, you can't put "yellow" lights into a "white light" car. I still am a little leery at night, but daytime, no problem. Good luck to you. It is scary, isn't it? Edie

Having had cataract surgery in my right eye and a cataract is starting in my left eye now, I can say that vision will definitely get worse during the day also. Get it checked as soon as you possibly can by an opthamologist.

Keeping your car's windshield, windows and, mirrors impeccably clean inside and out will help you. I clean mine more often than most people as I find that clean glass reduces my stress while driving and is safer. When you next get into that 'glare' situation, you'll notice that other drivers are having trouble but you're not.

There is a film they can put on your glasses. I was having trouble seeing the ends of a paint brush (like when I was painting a doll face) and hailos around letters got it put on with my new glasses.GEAT I can see even with the start of cataracts

People, you are not reading what I said! I have been to an ophthalmologist, I know I have cataracts, I am never going to manage having surgery. I also cannot wear vision correcting glasses to drive.
However, I do wear sunglasses. The problem happens WITH my sunglasses on. I will ask about the sunlight reactive and transition lenses.
And I do keep the windshield and mirrors very clean. I don't see any difference in the brightness effect with them clean or not, though.
