Yellow night time driving glasses (for my dad)

[TonyHetherington]

Hi all

Looking at getting some driving glasses for my dad for night time driving. He had his eyes corrected about 8 weeks ago (the operation that's similar to a cataract op), and has found that driving at night he gets a lot of glare. He was warned this could be a side effect.

Will the yellow-tinted glasses solve this? And if so, does anyone have recommendations, is there a certain type etc.?

Thanks!

Ah I see so polarised rather than yellow is what I'm after?

I assume you can get polarised but non_tinted? Thanks

Hi all

Wow I didn't realise there'd be so much to it!

It's not long/short sightedness that's causing it, because that's recently been fixed and found that dad's now got 20/20 vision once again (hurrah), it's just the side effect of more glare at night that he wishes to solve.

The principle that putting anything in front of your eye can only reduce light is a sound one, of course, so the level to which that goes is interesting as we're discussing night driving only (it's other driver's lights that cause).

Must admit I'm in limbo in knowing what to do now

Thanks all for the opinions/discussions etc - very interesting and very useful

He effectively had a cataract operation 8 weeks ago so I certainly hope that's not the case

(the eye fix thing he had is the same, just for a different reason)
